Description

We can declare new fields in SQLite and a converter for them, as described in: https://docs.python.org/2/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite3.PARSE_DECLTYPES
We could use it to create "virtual" fields SQLite doesnt' support such as bool.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Python sqlite3 documentation for PARSE_DECLTYPES, then inspect the repository's SQLite input and type-conversion handling. The issue does not name files, tests, or a precise set of supported virtual fields, so the expected behavior and completion criteria need clarification before implementation.
