Feature request: add support for numbers #3

Closed titanism closed 3 months ago

Switching to this package from better-sqlite3 would be possible if Number support was added.

For example, queries that implement a counter (and incrementing and decrementing it), or comparing numbers to one another, or sorting by a column that's a number are all too common practices in SQLite and SQL in general.

I'm not really interested in changing how any data types are handled at this point, especially when it comes to numeric values, for the reasons described in the readme. There is nothing stopping you from doing +value or BigInt(value) (or using a custom class) if you need to convert from string to a numeric type.
