Question

I’m using ORMLite in my app.
I had to enable the allowGeneratedIdInsert flag for one of my fields (rows) of a class (table). I did this through annotations.

Now i also need to do this for users which will update the app. This means I need to increment the database version and do the same in my onUpgrade method.

Is there an easy way of doing this? Or do I have to copy my data, drop the table and then recreate it using TableUtils?

Unfortunately ORMLite does not help with this field conversion. You certainly can use the raw-update methods to alter your schema in the onUpdate(...) method:

For information about upgrading your schema, see the docs:
