Can I alter a column in an sqlite table to AUTOINCREMENT after creation?

Question

Can I make a field AUTOINCREMENT after made a table? For example, if you create a table like this:

create table person(id integer primary key, n         


        

Answer 1

You can dump the content to a new table:

CREATE TABLE failed_banks_id (id integer primary key autoincrement, name text, city text, state text, zip integer, acquired_by text, close_date date, updated_date date);

INSERT INTO failed_banks_id(name, city, state, zip, acquired_by,close_date, updated_date)
SELECT name, city, state, zip, acquired_by,close_date, updated_date
FROM failed_banks;

And rename the table:

DROP TABLE failed_banks;
ALTER TABLE failed_banks_id RENAME TO failed_banks;
