Bug in Database manager

[kobolds]

gambas 2.14
database sqlite

I create table with 2 datetime fields (start_date , end_date) and default value current_timestamp . and 1 string field (stg_status) with default 'O'

when I open using gambas database manager
the 2 datetime field show ,
start_date --> default show --> 0
end_date---> default show --> 8980056

the string field stg_status --> default show --> 4.444578977261E-317

I also found very strange limitation in database manager . if you manual create a table from sqlite konsole . if you type like this :
create table testtbl( std_id integer primary key autoincrement , std_name text);

sqlite execute no problem but when you open using database manager , it give error no primary key

you must type
create table testtbl( 'std_id' INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT , 'std_name' TEXT);

why such weird limitation exist ?

You must create your tables from the database manager if you want him to
display them reliably. As there is no standard way in SQL to store metadata in
a database, the gambas database component relies on specific database-
dependant datatype to do its mapping with Gambas native datatypes.

See http://gambasdoc.org/help/doc/db-type-mapping for more details.

In your specific case, I think there is a case-sensitive comparison somewhere
in the sqlite database driver that should be case-unsensitive. I will
investigate and try to fix the problem.

what I mention is also happen when you using the database manager to create the table and the default value . this  happen if the field type is string .  
create a table (sqlite) using database manager . create a field type string . enter the default value 'O' .save . refresh /reload . the default value for the string change to number (the number change each time you open the database manager).  

if you check the schema of the table from sqlite konsole , it show correct the default 'O' .

if you want to enter data into the table using database manager you will see default (random number) field into it rather than 'O' .

Wow, two bugs mixed together! They should be fixed in revision #2083. If you
can test it and confirm the fix, it would be cool.

sorry I can't test cause  I never success compile gambas on my machine before .  I have to wait binary release.

I using opensuse 11.1 (x64) using gambas (x64) (by Guillermo Ballester Valor )
