Hi ;
This is what i have achieved so far
- insert into myclass (name,type) values (good, 8);
The Trigger will auto insert increment id into myclass
table.
id name type
-- ------ ----
1 good 8'
I manage to make it work thank to everyone here in
this forum.
2) Now on the same table myclass, i want to be able to
insert the id manually as well.
insert into myclass(id,name,type) values (4,bad,8);
My objectives by the end of the day , is the myclass
table is able to support auto generate seq no and it's
also able to accept manual id inserted as well. Can
it be done ? And how to do it ? So that once the
trigger detected is manual id inserted it will then
insert d id without running d myclass_seq. If the
manual id provided has is alrdy existed in database
then prompt error message to user. If the autonumber
sequnce detected the id existed in the database then
it will quitely skip d number and take nextval until a
unique value is found.
Oh you can understand what i am trying to explain
here.
THANK YOU
JK
