You can access the ROWID of an SQLite table using one of the special column names ROWID, _ROWID_, or OID. Except if you declare an ordinary table column to use one of those special names, then the use of that name will refer to the declared column not to the internal ROWID.

When a new row is inserted into an SQLite table, the ROWID can either be specified as part of the INSERT statement or it can be assigned automatically by the database engine.

To specify a ROWID manually, just include it in the list of values to be inserted. For example:
CREATE TABLE test1(a INT, b TEXT); INSERT INTO test1(rowid, a, b) VALUES(123, 5, 'hello');
