also i would like to specify that this column should be a required
field..so if the column was not given a value during insert, it would
return an sqlite error code..how can i implement this?..
create table t (a text check(length(a) <= 20) not null);
You might also want to add a minimum length check to prevent users from
entering an empty string (i.e. length of zero with no text, but still
not a null value).
create table t (a text not null check(length(a) >= 0 and length(a) <= 20));
