sqliteHow do I set up an autoincrement primary key in SQLite?


To set up an autoincrement primary key in SQLite, you need to use the INTEGER PRIMARY KEY column type. This column type will automatically assign an integer value for each new row, starting from 1 and incrementing by 1 for each new row.

For example, to create a table with an autoincrement primary key, you could use the following SQL statement:

CREATE TABLE test (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    name TEXT
);

This will create a table with two columns: id and name. The id column will be an integer primary key that autoincrements.

Parts of the code:

  • CREATE TABLE test - Creates a new table named test.
  • id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY - Creates a column named id with type INTEGER PRIMARY KEY. This will be the autoincrement primary key.
  • name TEXT - Creates a column named name with type TEXT.
