When I've done this in the past I've always handled alternating colours
in the web scripting side. You have to loop through all the records to
display them from the query, so I maintain a 'current record count'. If
it's odd, format the row white, if it's even format the row grey.
For example in

Hmm ... given the tables
work (idx, sortcrit)
storeroom(rowcount integer)
where 'idx' may be the index to renumber and 'sortcrit' a sorting criteria.
I would try to do something like the code below, but I just remembered that
sqlite does
The trigger is a nice idea, but renumbering the index won't work,
since the index might be used as a key to link the record to another
table.. I guess I could use a new index, just for this purpose but
that seems to be a waste of resources..
How do you renumber an index anyway?

As suggested by Kurt, given a subsequent index from idx = 1 ... N, you may
use color = idx%2 to compute your color.
To work around the problem of insert/delete, I'd try to employ a trigger on
these events to renumber the index (idx)
Ya.. I thought about all that, but the web pages will be built based
on queries, so the support needs to come from the SQL statement.
Using the key value is just not practical.
What I am thinking about is adding a custom function (I think sqlite
supports that) and just using a boolean static vari

No easy or reliable way that I can see.
Given a table with an integer primary key (ipk), you could let
(ipk % 2 == 0) => white and (ipk % 2 != 0) => gray, but that
would work only if (1) you never delete a row or (2) you delete

Is there an easy way to have an "alternating" column value in a query,
using sqlite ?
I want to have a column that alternates its value on every row. The
application is web based. I want to alternate colors for each row in
a table.. Something row1 = gray background, row2 = white, row3=grey,
