It looks like you're using SQL Server, if so, the syntax is:

 

<cfquery name="create_table" datasource="xx_renters">

 

CREATE TABLE user (
     user_id      INTEGER IDENTITY(1,1)  NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
     user_name    VARCHAR (20)     NOT NULL,
     password     VARCHAR (20)     NOT NULL
     )
</cfquery>

 

 It's the IDENTITY keyword that makes it an "Autonumber" field.  The (1,1) means that the numbering should start at 1 and increment in steps of 1.

Hello All,

 

I am trying to create a table whose primary key AutoIncrements. Creating the table is not a problem, making the primary key auto increment is.

 

Here is the query.

 

-------------------------

<cfquery name="create_table" datasource="xx_renters">

 

CREATE TABLE user (
     user_id      INTEGER          NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
     user_name    VARCHAR (20)     NOT NULL,
     password     VARCHAR (20)     NOT NULL,
     UNIQUE (user_id)
     )
</cfquery>

------------------------

 

I have tried all means of syntax for autoincrement but with no luck.

 

Thanks for any advice.

 

Best,

Erik
