Hello, Is there a way to restrict the unique ids to a desired range of values let's say only -ve values?
One way I could think of was if we have an empty database with an entry as a maximum -ve value, then every insertion with unique id value NULL, will automatically keep incrementing by 1. Thus to reach zero, it might take a many insertions but deletion of entries and insertions may create gaps and it is sure that it will end up as +ve id value some day. Otherwise the id has to be passed as a -ve value but additional complications come into picture like if it is not unique, it will fail and an attempt is to be made to insert -ve values. I am looking for a fool proof method that can stick the unique id to a rane of values without changing the source code of SQLITE. Currently, we are using SQLITE 3.0.8 .
