sqliteHow do I use a SQLite GUID?
A GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit number used to uniquely identify records in a SQLite database. To use a GUID in SQLite, you must use the UUID function. This function takes no parameters and returns a unique GUID.
Example code
SELECT UUID();Example output:
2f7f3050-4a50-4f9e-9a9c-5e2b8d6f7c3fThe code above will generate a new GUID each time it is called. You can use this GUID to identify a record in a table. For example, to create a new record with a GUID in a table named users:
INSERT INTO users (id, name) VALUES (UUID(), 'John Doe');The code above will insert a new row into the users table with a unique GUID as the id and John Doe as the name.
Code explanation
SELECT UUID();: This statement selects the UUID() function, which generates a new GUID.INSERT INTO users (id, name) VALUES (UUID(), 'John Doe');: This statement inserts a new row into theuserstable with a unique GUID as theidandJohn Doeas thename.
