Here's the official definition: https://www.sqlite.org/rowidtable.html > A ""rowid table"" is any table in an SQLite schema that > > - is *not* a [virtual table](https://www.sqlite.org/vtab.html), and > - is *not* a [WITHOUT ROWID](https://www.sqlite.org/withoutrowid.html) table. > > Most tables in a typical SQLite database schema are rowid tables. > > Rowid tables are distinguished by the fact that they all have a unique, non-NULL, signed 64-bit integer [rowid](https://www.sqlite.org/lang_createtable.html#rowid) that is used as the access key for the data in the underlying [B-tree](https://www.sqlite.org/fileformat2.html#btree) storage engine. So it's not correct to call a table a ""rowid table"" only if it is missing its own primary keys. Maybe `table.has_rowid` is the right language to use here? No, that's no good - because tables with their own primary keys usually also have a rowid.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",925410305, https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/285#issuecomment-864417133,https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/285,864417133,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDg2NDQxNzEzMw==,9599,2021-06-19T14:57:36Z,2021-06-19T14:57:36Z,OWNER,"So the logic is: ```python [column.name for column in self.columns if column.is_pk] ``` I need to decide on a property name.
