Re: Any method to get primary key matching a given value ?

Hi Karl, Thanks a lot for your response, I think INFORMATION_SCHEMA is not available for sqlite database. I had to built up the whole query with php using PRAGMA table_info(tablename), looking at the pk entry, when its 1, get the column name, and then update the sql statement based on that. A bit of work, wouldve been much simpler if a method was provided, but oh well ..
