[sqlite] Index keywords
Hi, I've searched and can not find where the keywords like PRIMARY, UNIQUE, etc. in the Documentation. Please point me to the correct section. Also, if I use autoincrement, how do I retrieve the new index value for use in other tables? Again a doc. pointer would be good. Thanks!

I have seen that list of keywords, but I'm looking for a description of what they mean. In particular those associated with index definitions. Vance D.

Thanks Daniel, Not really, I'm guessing I'll have to find documentation on SQL in order to find detailed information on field and index field descriptors or modifiers, such as INTEGER, PRIMARY, KEY, AUTOINCREMENT, etc. Any recommendations?

Re: [sqlite] Index keywords
Hi Vance, Could you maybe give one or two examples on exactly what you need that you're not finding on the website? As far as syntax, it's pretty much all linked from: http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html E.g. for automatically incrementing primary key, see: http://www.sqlite.org/lang_createtable.html#rowid (if you must have an auto-incrementing key other than an integer primary key, you will need to implement it yourself via a trigger) As far as typing, sqlite differs from many other databases: http://www.sqlite.org/datatype3.html As far as a manual on SQL itself, yes, you would need to look elsewhere. ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users

Re: [sqlite] Index keywords
Thanks Ron, That was what I was looking for. Just did not know where to find it. When I INSERT a new row with INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT specified for the key column, how do I find out what the new value for that column (the new key value) as that may be the only unique column value in the table?
