 Sqlite doesn't track the types of expressions, and there's no way to
 know that the returned value, a string or long, was supposed to be an
 integer.  You should use GetInt32() on the data reader to ensure you
 get something of the right type.

+A boxed value type can only be unboxed to it's original type.
+
+If you know that the object that ExecuteScalar returns is a boxed 
+long you can do the following:
+
+int rowsLeft = (int)(long)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
+
+This is faster than calling Convert.ToInt32(object).
