uByteColumn

Defines a nullable TINYINT UNSIGNED column in the table, intended to store an unsigned 8-bit integer (UByte).

This function creates and registers a column with the type TINYINT UNSIGNED. While SQLite does not have a native unsigned integer type, this function maps the database value to Kotlin's UByte for type safety and to represent values up to UByte.MAX_VALUE. The column is nullable by default.

Important: UByte values are stored as Int to prevent overflow. So, this is safe to use without overflow issues.

Example:

object StatusFlags : KQLiteTable("status_flags") {
    // A nullable TINYINT UNSIGNED column for a status code (0-255)
    val statusCode = uByteColumn("status_code")

    // A non-null column for a media type identifier
    val mediaType = uByteColumn("media_type").notNull().default(0u)
}
