In MySql and MariaDB you can create a unique identity value for rows with the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute. PostgreSQL has the same idea with the SERIAL attribute.
CREATE TABLE domains
(id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(254) UNIQUE,
timestamp TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW()
);
The example also shows how to have a column which stores the time when the record was created.

SQLite is a small self contained SQL database engine that reads and writes to a normal file. It is a good first pass for adding database storage to your application. It's easy to use and with a single file to deal with offers no real issues. Being a SQL database though means you won't be far off if you decide to up your database requirements to Postgres or some other database system.
My recent project of building a Clojure Ads.txt file crawler is a good target for SQLite support for a couple reasons. One is that the project is simple and works just fine writing to result files but having a database would be good in the long term especially as the project grows. Second is that the original Python Ads.txt file crawler defaulted to writing to a SQLite database. I figure the Clojure project should at the very least be able to do the same.
The results of adding SQLite are in the repository if you are curious.

Sometimes though you'll stash something then merge your feature branch and when you git pop conflict the stash back you'll have a conflict.
You'll see "unmerged paths" which is your clue to this situation.
What to do?
