Hello,

Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find any reference to it
in the list archives. I've found a small bug in the documentation, I
wanted to mention it since I think it should be changed accordingly.

In http://www.sqlite.org/autoinc.html the documentation says:

"""
The normal ROWID selection algorithm described above will generate
monotonically increasing unique ROWIDs ...
...
The AUTOINCREMENT Keyword
...
Note that "monotonically increasing" does not imply that the ROWID
always increases by exactly one. One is the usual increment. ...
"""

AFAIK, in a monotonically increasing sequence a value is larger *or
equal* to the previous value, while in a *strictly* monotonically
increasing sequence the next value is always larger (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotonic_function). This is maybe
nitpicking, but I think the documentation should be fixed.

Regards,
T.

P.S.: I hope this is the right place to ask such things, I couldn't find
any documentation improvement link, else I would comment on some
spelling errors as well ;-)
