Alternatively, this could work: ```python db[""dummy""].create({ ""title"": str, ""vector"": CustomColumnType(""array"") }) ``` This would play better with `mypy` too I think.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1128466114, https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/406#issuecomment-1040974519,https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/406,1040974519,IC_kwDOCGYnMM4-DAK3,9599,2022-02-16T01:08:17Z,2022-02-16T01:08:17Z,OWNER,"I had no idea this was possible!
