AUTOINCREMENT should not be default for SQLite3 Serial type
Reported by ronin-11960 (at lighthouseapp) | December 2nd, 2008 @ 10:05 AM
With SQLite3, a field that is defined as INTEGER PRIMARY KEY is auto-populated during record creation. The presence or absence of the AUTOINCREMENT keyword only serves to determine which algorithm is used to generate the next value. According to the SQLite3 website, it's better to not use the AUTOINCREMENT keyword unless necessary for a particular design, as it causes more work for the database. I would submit that the default Serial type for SQLite3 should be INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY. Here's a link for more info: http://www.sqlite.org/autoinc.html
