Sqlite, sqlite3 bug in add_column when column is primary key (Trac #9385)

Reported by awendt | December 27th, 2008 @ 10:44 PM | in 2.x

This is merely a follow-up for http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticke..., a ticket filed one year ago. It never got commented.

I just bumped into this as well. Initial problem: I didn't have an id column for primary key in one of my tables. I didn't run into problems with 2.0.2

2.2.2 suddenly introduces a requirement for an id column in validates_uniqueness_of (which itself should be considered a bug, but is of no concern here). So I wrote a migration that gives me

SQLite3::SQLException: Cannot add a PRIMARY KEY column: ALTER TABLE "responses" ADD "id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL

The code for 2.0.2 is on http://github.com/awendt/hyggelig, I could push the 2.2.2 code on a branch.

I suspect that Pratik meant to put the ticket #2080 in his comment. I've included the fix for this in my patch for a related issue - just took your tests directly.

Wish I could reopen this bug, but w/ Rails 2.3 I am unable to add a primary key column using sqlite3. The following is the error I received while migrating:

==  AddIdToEmployees: migrating ===========================
-- add_column(:employees, :id, :primary_key)
rake aborted!
An error has occurred, all later migrations canceled:

SQLite3::SQLException: Cannot add a PRIMARY KEY column: ALTER TABLE "employees" ADD "id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL

Which version of rails are you using? In 2.3.2 the adapter doesn't even use the ALTER TABLE statement for adding primary key columns - so you're not using the final 2.3 release.

I'll give 2.3 a try. This will be another reason to upgrade talk my client into upgrading to Rails 2.3.

Your original comment said that you were using 2.3 :) I guess you're using 2.2 - so yeah, this bug was fixed in the 2.3 final release (v2.3.2).

Before this, in sqlite, there's no way to add a primary key column with a Rails migration because of the sqlite limitations in ALTER TABLE.
