[plt-scheme] plt-scheme data representation/storage in sqlite3?

I assume you mean with my sqlite planet package.

Here's how I bind parameters:

                 (cond
                   [(integer? param)
                    (sqlite3_bind_int64 handle i param)]
                   [(number? param)
                    (sqlite3_bind_double handle i param)]
                   [(string? param)
                    (sqlite3_bind_text handle i param)]
                   [(bytes? param)
                    (sqlite3_bind_blob handle i param)]
                   [else
                    (sqlite3_bind_null handle i)])

As you see, Scheme's arbitrary precision numbers are transformed into
sqlite3's doubles. If you need a different encoding, you'll have to
implement it manually.
