title: String data type in sqlite
body: <p>I created a table as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>create table employers (
      id integer primary key,
      name string,
      surname string,
      description string
  );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I noticed <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/datatype3.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> that <code>string</code> is not between data types, should I replace it with something else? Is it alias for some other datatype? What is the maximum number of characters that can this string contain?</p>
  
  <p>I used <code>string</code> and it does not make any problems. I'm only interested how is it possible, that I could use string. Is it some alias? What are the possibilities of this type?</p>
  
  <p>thank you</p>
