I also wonder if this would be a sensible approach for eg registering `pint` based quantity conversions into and out of the db, perhaps storing the quantity as a serialised `magnitude measurement` single column string?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1128466114,Creating tables with custom datatypes, https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/402#issuecomment-1041325398,https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/402,1041325398,IC_kwDOCGYnMM4-EV1W,82988,psychemedia,2022-02-16T10:12:48Z,2022-02-16T10:18:55Z,NONE,"> My hunch is that the case where you want to consider input from more than one column will actually be pretty rare - the only case I can think of where I would want to do that is for latitude/longitude columns Other possible pairs: unconventional date/datetime and timezone pairs eg `2022-02-16::17.00, London`; or more generally, numerical value and unit of measurement pairs (eg if you want to cast into and out of different measurement units using packages like `pint`) or currencies etc. Actually, in that case, I guess you may be presenting things that are unit typed already, and so a conversion would need to parse things into an appropriate, possibly two column `value, unit` format.

This pushes you into the mindspace that you are defining and working with a custom column type. When creating the table, you could then error, or at least warn, if someone wasn't setting a column on a `type` or a custom column type, which I guess is where `mypy` comes in?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1128466114,Creating tables with custom datatypes,
