Question

I need to create a table that basically keeps a list of indices only. Therefore I’ve created a table with just one, auto-incremented column called ‘id’. However, I can’t seem to implicitly add auto-incremented values to this table.

I know that usually when you have such a column in a table (with more than just this column) you can do:

INSERT INTO TABLE (col1, col2 …) VALUES (val1, val2 …)

And if you don’t specify the auto-incremented column, it would automatically get a value. However, things like:

INSERT INTO TABLE () VALUES ()
INSERT INTO TABLE
INSERT INTO TABLE ()

etc. all produce an error on my single-columned table. Can anyone offer a solution?
Thanks.

p.s. I’m using Sqlite, in case it matters.

Try the following:

 INSERT INTO YOUR_TABLE(YOUR_ID) VALUES (NULL);
