How set to initial value to max+1 of group

A container holds items that can be arranged by a person.
A container may contain only one of a given item.

Containers
-----
ContainerId (unique)
ContainerName (unique)
other columns

Items
-----
ItemId (unique)
ItemName (unique)
other columns

ContainerItems
-----
ContainerId
ItemId (unique Containerid x ItemId)
DisplayIndex (unique Containerid x ItemId x DisplayIndex)
other columns

When an item is added to a container the new record will be
[ContainerId], ItemId, Max(DisplayInde x)+1 where
ContainerId=[ContainerId] as DisplayIndex
Can the max+1 be enforced at the database level, or can it only be
done via a form?

The planned form will contain continuous subform

Container
+-- Items --+
--- Item --- DisplayIndex
--- Item --- DisplayIndex
--- Item --- DisplayIndex

When a new row is added to the subform, what event could be handled to
enforce max+1?
Are there any good 'drag and drop' controls for reordering?

I need to know the largets value representable in a variable. However, I do not know the variable's true type - only that it is some kind of int.

Hi, I'm trying to outer join to a maximum date value using a subquery in order to return company information and the last activity date associated.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
