--- Comment #1 from Alex Thurgood <iplaw67 at tuta.io> ---
@Howard : the table creation wizard does this for you with hsqldb, if you don't
assign a primary key when setting up your table, then it will ask whether you
want to create one or use an existing field. In either case, there is an option
(tick box) to set the primary key to autoincrement. Unfortunately, this option
isn't proposed by default on table save when you create your table via the
table design mode - to the extent that this mode is intended for people who are
supposed to know what they are doing, I suppose it is understandable that the
user has to make a positive decision to deliberately assign an autoincrement
statement in the table design UI, rather than being asked for one, as the
counter argument could be made that were I database designer having used the
"manual mode", I would find it annoying to be asked each time I defined an ID
primary key whether or not I wanted to assign the autoincrement function to
that key.
