However, if you use unaliased rowid, the VACUUM command will reset the rowid values. ROWID should never be used with foreign keys but the simple act of aliasing rowid to id (which is what happens when one does `id integer primary key` DDL) makes it OK. It would be convenient if there were more options to use a string column (eg. filepath) as the PK, and be able to use it during upserts, but when creating a foreign key, to create an integer column which aliases rowid I made an attempt to switch to integer primary keys here but it is not going well... In my usecase the path column is a business key. Yes, it should be as simple as including the `id` column in any select statement where I plan on using `upsert` but it would be nice if this could be abstracted away somehow https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/library/commit/788cd125be01d76f0fe2153335d9f6b21db1343c https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/library/actions/runs/5173602136/jobs/9319024777",140912432,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/557/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,completed 1393202060,I_kwDOCGYnMM5TCpOM,496,devrel/python api: Pylance type hinting,7908073,open,0,,,4,2022-10-01T03:03:34Z,2023-05-03T05:53:27Z,,CONTRIBUTOR,,"Pylance is generally pretty good at figuring out stuff but `sqlite-utils` has some quirks which make type hinting kinda useless.
