Updating a sequence number (not identity insert)

1 New Member
I need to update and then read a sequence number, but I think its failing when there are many users updating at the same time.

Here's what I'm doing

update datatable set nextnr = nextnr+1 where somecondition
select nextnr from datatable where somecondition

I don't think I always get the correct sequence number. There must be a better way to do this.

Thanks

Hi, Currently we're a building a metadatadriven datawarehouse in SQL Server 2000. We're investigating the possibility of the updating tables with enormeous number of updates and insert and the use of checkpoints (for simple recovery and Backup Log for full recovery). On several website people speak about full transaction log and the pace of growing can't keep up with the update. Therefore we want to create a script which flushes the...

How do I get the next int value for a column before I do an insert in MY SQL Server 2000? I'm currently using Oracle sequence and doing something like: select seq.nextval from dual; Then I do my insert into 3 different table all using the same uniqueID. I can't use the @@identity function because my application uses a connection pool and it's not garanteed that a connection won't be used

Hi, I need an auto incrementing field that will contain values like N000001, N000002, N000003 etc. I think the way is to use the value from an identity field in a stored procedure that is triggered at insert. I can't see that it can be made in pure SQL, but Java is not a problem. Any of you that can tell me the way of doing it ?

Hello, I would like to know Identity OR sequence which is better?. My requirement is simple. I have a parent table with ID (generated or from sequence) and I want that ID after inserting parent record so that I could use it for Child table(S).

Hi: we have column with GENERATED ALWAYS AS DEFAULT. So, we can insert into this column manually and also let db2 generate a value for this column. Given a scenario, how can i find the NEXTVAL for this identity column? We can do "VALUED NEXTVAL FOR SEQUENCE", but for identity how can it be done?

I got an Access database that need to be converted to Oracle 9i. Somehow the Trigger we created to simulate the "AUTO NUMBER" on Access could not create the sequence number as soon as the value has been inserted. The sequence number can only be created after we go to the second line. Please see the trigger below. Is there anyway we could create a trigger that could create the sequence number as soon as we enter a value? It should be...

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...
