I am very new to SQL. Earlier I was using Xampp.
Why comma expected for AUTO_INCREMENT? If I write the command something just like this :
```sql
"+COLUMN1+" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL ,AUTO_INCREMENT,
```
then I don't get the error/warning. But I think if I use comma then SQL may think AUTO_INCREMENT isn't for COLUMN1's. Cause it might be separated by comma.
I was trying to follow [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/4212603/16897106):
```sql
"CUST_ID" INT not null primary key

```
But I got same error on GENERATED at first then AS. My attempt is available in [the answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/31316423/16897106).
