I currently have all my tables with a column called "ID" that is defined as Integer Primary Key. For legacy code purposes, I need ID to start at 0 and not at 1 however I'd like to have this be defined as part of the table schema and not as part of the insertion statement. I tried defining it as "integer primary key default 0" but that didn't work. Any other ideas?

And note that if you have a column which is an integer that > has doesn't allow duplicates, The column has to very specifically be defined "INTEGER PRIMARY KEY". "INT UNIQUE" won't cover it. http://sqlite.org/lang_createtable.html#rowid -j -- Jay A. Kreibich < J A Y @ K R E I B I.C H > "Our opponent is an alien starship packed with atomic bombs.
