sqlite3 does NOT guarantee rowid always increments and never gives FULL return (at least according to the docs).
autoincrement does. http://www.sqlite.org/autoinc.html Michael D.

If the rowid limit is ever hit (very unlikely to happen!) you'll get a "db full" error, in which case it's probably time to recreate the table to get the rowid to start counting at 1 again. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
