Re: [sqlite] How to use sqlite3_table_column_metadata?

2017-11-27 Thread petern
Hi Bart. Questions like that can be answered by looking at the body of the function in your copy of the source code. In this case, the call will accept null column name and then later set default values for fields like so: if( pCol ){ zDataType = sqlite3ColumnType(pCol,0); zCollSeq = pCo

Sorry to rain on your parade, but " The sqlite_sequence table does not track ROWID changes associated with UPDATE statement, only INSERT statements.", so if you change the (auto-generated) rowid, your "row age to row id" relation no longer holds. Same goes for updating the sqlite_sequence entry
