Thank you Bart,

I’ve just found that I could actually also use the ‘Add Sequence’ transform

Silly Me !

Thanks for the help

Hi MHeyd,

What database engine do you use?
For a supported database, you could try the "Use DB to generate the sequence" 
option in the Add sequence transform [1].
Another option could be to use an option similar to an auto increment, where 
your table's primary key uses that sequence to create the next value, but a lot 
depends on your use case and requirements there.

Hello Apache Hop Users,

I’m trying to Create data via a ‘Table Output’ transform.

One of the field shall contain a sequence value. The next db sequence value can 
be generated like this
nextval('db."myfield_seq"')

Do you know how to pass this to the ’table output’ transform?

(I have  also tried to read first all new sequences but could not combine a 
‘table input’ with an ‘excel input’)

Thank you in advance for your help
