prevent autoincrementing integer primary key?

问题

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?

回答1:

Autoincrement behavior applies only to columns declared as INTEGER PRIMARY KEY. So the easiest ways to disable it are:

• Declare the column as UNIQUE instead of PRIMARY KEY.
• Declare the column type as INT instead of INTEGER.

Note that either one will give you a column with integer affinity instead of being constrained to contain only integers.

One way to disable autoincrement (outside of recreating the table) when you need to insert data is to use the import tool in sqlite3:

If you have a table like this:

CREATE TABLE [table1] ( [ID] integer PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL, [col1] TEXT);

If you run the import command on it with your data file:

ID col1
10 abc
20 def

import myfile.txt table1

It will import the rows, and it will disregard the autoincrement feature.
