Hi Puneet Kishor ,
Yes, you are right. I have to check out whether "DELETE FROM table;"
will really set the auto imcrement primary key seed back zero.
Yes, it will. Here you go --
sqlite> create table t (a integer primary key, b);
sqlite> select * from t;
sqlite> insert into t (b) values ('foo');
sqlite> insert into t (b) values ('bar');
sqlite> select * from t;
1|foo
2|bar
sqlite> delete from t;
sqlite> select * from t;
sqlite> insert into t (b) values ('qux');
sqlite> insert into t (b) values ('baz');
sqlite> select * from t;
1|qux
2|baz

Hi,
In MS SQL, there is a "TRUNCATE TABLE" SQL that will remove all the
records of a table and make the identity back to zero.
Is there any means to accomplish it in sqlite?
How about
DELETE FROM table;
I am assuming, by 'identity' you refer to the auto-incrementing
primary key. If so, yes, SQLite will do the same thing.
Fwiw, I believe TRUNCATE TABLE does a bit more than what you are
implying above. It also truncates the logs and whatnot. But, that may
be neither here nor there.
