Re: Does oracle have an auto increment column

Having started out on SQL Server, this is one feature (there aren't many) I
do miss in Oracle.  In SQL Server, it is called an INDEX column.  Sequences
in Oracle perform a similar function but they aren't automatic.  Every
programmer and every program inserting a row in a table must know to fill
in the PK column with the NEXTVAL of the sequence.
