SEQUENCES
I was wondering whether it was possible to make and AUTO_INCREMENT field instead of always adding 1 and starting at zero, into a SEQUENCE type field so that it is say a 10 digit integer and numbers are created according to the SEQUENCE. thanks Graham This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

RE: SEQUENCES
I looked in the documentation but could not find any mention of SEQUENCES. The AUTO_INCREMENT documentation seems to say that you can change a server variable to adjust the incremented count, but unless i can put an equation into their, i don't see how changing that would help. thanks Graham -Original Message- From: Jay Blanchard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 December 2003 14:03 To: Graham Little; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: SEQUENCES [snip] I was wondering whether it was possible to make and AUTO_INCREMENT field instead of always adding 1 and starting at zero, into a SEQUENCE type field so that it is say a 10 digit integer and numbers are created according to the SEQUENCE.

RE: SEQUENCES
Hi Chris, Thanks for your help, i will find another way around it.

However, you could use an AUTO_INCREMENT field as the independent variable for some application-level function you use to generate the values in the sequence.
