SQLite AUTOINCREMENT is a keyword used for auto incrementing a value of a field in the table. We can auto increment a field value by using AUTOINCREMENT keyword when creating a table with specific column name to auto incrementing it.

The keyword AUTOINCREMENT can be used with INTEGER field only. Syntax:

The basic usage of AUTOINCREMENT keyword is as follows:

CREATE TABLE table_name(
   column1 INTEGER AUTOINCREMENT,
   column2 datatype,
   column3 datatype,
   .....
   columnN datatype,
);

For Example See Below: Consider COMPANY table to be created as follows:

sqlite> CREATE TABLE TB_COMPANY_INFO(
   ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY   AUTOINCREMENT,
   NAME           TEXT      NOT NULL,
   AGE            INT       NOT NULL,
   ADDRESS        CHAR(50),
   SALARY         REAL
);

Now, insert following records into table TB_COMPANY_INFO:

INSERT INTO TB_COMPANY_INFO (NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)
VALUES ( 'MANOJ KUMAR', 40, 'Meerut,UP,INDIA', 200000.00 );

Now Select the record

SELECT *FROM TB_COMPANY_INFO
    ID      NAME            AGE     ADDRESS             SALARY
    1       Manoj Kumar     40      Meerut,UP,INDIA     200000.00
