I have a sqlite table (sqlite version 3.7.3) where nulls inserted into the primary key column are being undesirably auto-incremented:
sqlite> CREATE TABLE foo(bar INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY);
sqlite> INSERT INTO foo(bar) VALUES(NULL);
sqlite> SELECT * FROM foo;
1
In the sqlite docs, it shows that adding the AUTOINCREMENT
keyword to the column should create this behavior, but there doesn't appear to be a keyword to prevent the auto incrementing...
I also found that I can build sqlite with the SQLITE_OMIT_AUTOINCREMENT
compile option, but I don't want to disable the behavior globally, just for this particular column.
Interestingly, if I don't include the PRIMARY KEY
constraint, I get the desired behavior:
sqlite> CREATE TABLE FOO(bar integer NOT NULL);
sqlite> INSERT INTO FOO(bar) VALUES(NULL);
SQL error: foo.bar may not be NULL
How can I define the table so that NULL values are rejected and keep the primary key constraint?
