For one, within a function that does an INSERT, set_last_insert_rowid makes it possible to "pop" last_insert_rowid. Consider a function which INSERT's into the model and then INSERT's a log table row. The caller probably isn't interested in the log rowid.
A better question to ask is always why an orthogonal or inverse operation is missing rather than why it is present. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonality_(programming) Peter On Tue, Jan 30, 2018 at 7:03 AM, Bart Smissaert <bart.smissa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Just wonder what the possible use for this is. > > RBS > _______________________________________________ > sqlite-users mailing list > sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org > http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users > _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
