sqlite3: creating table with no columns

Question

I want to create table with no columns in sqlite3. It is possible in postgres database, but not in a sqlite3 one. Is there any way to achieve this, or is it simply not supported (maybe not in sql standard?) I have checked sqlite3 CREATE TABLE grammar and it seems, that there must be at least one column, but maybe I have missed something?

Answer 1

Zero-column tables aren't supported in SQLite. Or in the SQL standard either.

Answer 2

I had this same question because I wanted a table with only the rowid field. While you may not be able to create a table without columns, you can make a table with only a rowid field as the primary key using the following code:

CREATE TABLE tablename (rowid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY) WITHOUT ROWID;
