I have the following SQLite code. How do I insert an auto generating unique ID into each row?

    tx.executeSql(\'DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ENTRIES\');
    tx.exe

autoincrement is your friend buddy.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ENTRIES (id integer primary key autoincrement, data);
INSERT INTO ENTRIES (data) VALUES ("First row");
INSERT INTO ENTRIES (data) VALUES ("Second row");

and then:

> SELECT * FROM ENTRIES;
1|First row
2|Second row
