I was wondering why auto_increment is “spelled” with an underscore, since primary key not null and such is not?
Is it because auto_increment is some old syntactical leftover or such?
Keys can be either primary or foreign, columns can be either null(able) or not null.
There isn’t really an alternative increment option to auto_ – so it makes more sense to have it as one “word”.
