Auto Increment

115 New Member
Hey all
I currently have an application in vb that reads and writes to a oracle table.
My problem is getting it to write to the table as i wish to have the PK column as auto increment by one.

Is there any way i can do this through the design mode(of the oracle table) in visual studio?

The error is just saying that i can't insert a null value in to the PK of the table but if it auto incremented this would dissapear any help would be hugely appreciated

Cheers

You'll need a sequence since oracle does not have auto increment.

That may well be better answered in the .NET forum.

you need to use sequence as suggested .
Use the sequenename.nex tval to generate a new number and insert the same to the table PK field.

Is it true that if I split my access database in backend and frontend and I implement custom auto increment for the ID fields, that my database is ready to be used in a multi-user environment? I found a zillion messages about auto increment and read some of them but it's confusing. Can someone point me to a simple custom auto increment example that I can download? Thank you, john
