Predict next auto-inserted row id (SQLite)

Question

I\'m trying to find if there is a reliable way (using SQLite) to find the ID of the next row to be inserted, before it gets inserted. I need to use the id for anoth

Answer 1

Most likely you should be able to +1 the most recent id. I would look at all (going back a while) of the existing id's in the ordered table .. Are they consistent and is each row's ID is one more than the last? If so, you'll probably be fine. I'd leave a comments in the code explaining the assumption however. Doing a Lock will help guarantee that you're not getting additional rows while you do this as well.
