SQlite foreign key logic

Tag: database,sqlite

I am using SQlite and the PK column seems to be auto-incrementing. I am a bit concerned about following approach where I want to normalize the type-column:

Table: Book
id   type  name
...  ...   ...
15    1     Foo
16    2     Bar
...   ...  ...


Table: Type
id  typename
1   magazine
2   novel

What happens, if I recreate the Type-table and the PK-index (="id") changes, e.g. that 1 now refers to novel instead of magazine. So to be more robust, I am thinking about inserting a custom second column that contains the "logical" indices that I refer to:

Table: Book
id   type  name
1    3     Foo
2    4     Bar

Table: Type
id   type  typename
1    3     magazine
2    4     novel

This way my custom type-ids would be independent from the primary keys. I think another advantage of the last approach is that I would not have to re-ask the latest (new) id of a new row, because I would refer to the type column that I know before. This way when I insert the row I already know the "type" id to make references (I am using threads for the database, so reading a value from the database within a method is difficult or not possible (?) - so if I would need the id, I would have to ask the db first).

Is this a legit approach? Or should I directly create a non-incrementing primary key with my "custom id's" that I manage on my own?

Best How To :

As shown in the documentation, you can simply insert the desired values in the PK column:

INSERT INTO Type(id, typename) VALUES(2, 'novel')

And if you never need autoincrement values, you should not use an autoincrementing column in the first place.

Creating a generic / abstract “DBContext” Class for shared functionality among different DBs

c#,database,generics,inheritance,abstract-class

The key here is to step back and think about the problem from another angle. You are duplicating lots of code because you are creating instances of the database and command classes within the method. So inject them instead: public class SomeDBClass { static DataTable exec_DT(DBConnection conn, DBCommand cmd) {...

In simple RESTful design, does PATCH imply mapping to CRUD's (ORM's) “update” and PUT to “destroy”+“create” (to replace a resource)?

Well, Both the actions actually means update, where PUT is full update and PATCH is partial update. In case of PUT you already know the identifier of the resource and the resource already exists, so it is not a create and delete action per se. Infact, you can make do...
