Thanks Clay I downloaded version 3-2-7 (Windows xp pro) for both my home and office system. I am working through pysqlite and have set up all the tables through Python with table creation statements like this: cur.execute("CREATE TABLE projects(project_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, \ cip_number INTEGER, project_name VARCHAR(30), project_area INTEGER, \ original_budget INTEGER, start_date date, end_date date)") I have tried adding the word 'AUTOINCREMENT' after the 'PRIMARY KEY PHRASE' with no luck.
I have tried very simple tables. When I do and insert with a NULL value in the Primary Key column, the database accepts the insert with no complaint or errors. When I retrive the data, no results (rows) are returned for the values were NUll was inserted; only where I have explicitly listed a number in the PK field do I get any Results. I am going to do further experiments tomorrow by downloading to my Linux box. All of the tables have been created from within Python2-4, none on the sqlite command line, so maybe that has something to do with it. I am hoping that the additional info I have given helps to suggest what's going on.
