To my surprise (perhaps "horror") I find that SQLite has for a very long time allowed NULL values in PRIMARY KEY columns. This is clearly incorrect. But the ability to do this has been in the code for so long that I fear changing it might break many legacy programs. So I have chosen to merely document the behavior for now - with a warning to developers that the behavior might be fixed in the future. -- D.
