Double quotes is specifically for building identifiers that "look strange" (i.e. embedded spaces, keywords, ...) which IMHO should be avoided because it tends to clutter up the statement.
Single quotes is for building strings. Integer is a keyword, "integer" is an identifier and 'integer' a string. asql> create temp table test (id integer primary key, "integer" integer default 'integer'); asql> .desc test +---------+----------------+------------+--------+ | Name | Datatype | Size | Hidden | +---------+----------------+------------+--------+ | id | integer | UNKNOWN | | | integer | integer | UNKNOWN | | +---------+----------------+------------+--------+ Field count: 2 asql> insert into test (id) values (1); rows inserted ------------- 1 asql> select * from test; id integer ---------- ---------- 1 integer -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: sqlite-users [mailto:sqlite-users-boun...@mailinglists.sqlite.org] Im Auftrag von Robert M.

I tried NULL and as you said, that doesn't work because NULL is put in. -- Robert M.
