Thread: Create table syntax

Hi

Entered below is the SQL create table syntax:

CREATE TABLE lists ([listid] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,[listname] [varchar] (200) NULL ,[listcreator] [varchar]
(200)NULL ,[listdesc] [text] NULL) 


We need to know that this syntax will work properly in
postgresql while creating the table and the
autoincrement option for the column(listid). If this
syntax is not correct for postgresql, we need the
correct syntax.

Hoping for a positive response from ur side.

Regards

CREATE TABLE lists (        listid SERIAL NOT NULL ,        listname varchar(200) NULL ,        listcreator
varchar(200)NULL ,        listdesc text NULL);
 
This create statement is accepted from postgres. The type SERIAL does
theautoincremention. This Statement should do what you want.

create table lists (listid serial not null,listname varchar(200),listcreator varchar(200),listdesc text);

(You may want to make listid a primary key as well)
