SQLite Developers Urged to Adopt Strict Tables for Data Integrity
Evan Hahn argues that SQLite's strict tables, which enforce type checking and reject invalid data, should be the default for new projects. Strict mode prevents silent data corruption by rejecting mismatched types at insert time. The feature has been available since SQLite 3.37.0 (November 2021).

While strict tables add a minor overhead, the safety gains for data integrity make them a no-brainer for most applications, especially those handling user input.
