if you want to have a number that strictly: - is incremental (no gaps, always sequential, etc) - the first two digits are the year
I'd suggest to have a "last_tickets" table (year(int) , ticket_no(int)) holding the current ticket. then, you can use _before_insert callback on the "tickets" table to: - fetch the last ticket_no for the current year - compute the next integer, update last ticket_no - use the computed value in the ticket_no of the "tickets" table -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
