I think he understands that. :) His question is why. I think that the answer is simply "convention", FWIW. That, unfortunately, leads directly to the follow-up question of "can BIGINT PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT" be made to work the same as INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT". I believe the answer is yes, but I wouldn't bet my life on it. -T _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
