Read section 3.1 of the documentation you linked to and you will be able to tell the type affinity of every column in the calibre database. Which is anyway entirely irrelevant since sqlite actually uses types per value not per column. You can store text in integer columns and integers in blob columns if you want.
I was browsing sqlite documentation a few years ago and that really stood out to me.
A column can be nominally double precision, but if the content of that column in a given row is inserted or updated as 1.0 it will actually stored as a short integer (or maybe even byte).
