Question

I am using sqlite DB with SQLite Expert personal as the Admin tool to design and add data.

My question is, how do I limit value of INT fields to a 16bit so that user cannot add number > 65535?

Please suggest any other better SQLite admin tool if what I am using is not great.

thanks

You can create the table in question with a constraint;

CREATE TABLE Test ( col1 INT, CONSTRAINT my_limit CHECK (col1<65536) );

which won’t let you insert numbers larger than 65535 in that column.
(you may want to remember to limit below 0 also if that’s a requirement)

Sadly you can’t add a constraint to an existing table in SQLite.
