SQLite AUTOINCREMENT
AUTOINCREMENT keyword is used to increase the value of the field automatically. We need to use the autoincrement keyword to increase the field(column) value and it only works for the INTEGER fields. Autoincrement is used only with the columns that act as the primary keys because we use it only for the employee_id, and student_id i.e. for the id’s and roll numbers that have sequential numbers as their values for the fields. This primary key acts as a foreign key for the other table.
Syntax:
CREATE TABLE table_name(
column1 INTEGER AUTOINCREMENT,
column2 datatype,
column3 datatype,
.....
columnN datatype,
);

In this article, we will be learning about autoincrement in SQLite, its functionality, and how it works along with the examples and we will also be covering without autoincrement too.
