Creating Sequence for Auto Number

I am trying to create a sequence to auto number a column in a table.
There is a small section on it in the ORacle book I am reading but it
is not detailed enough for me to try it.
I know I have to use the 'create sequence' command and something called
the NextVal thingie.


Would I have to create some sort of trigger(something else I don't know
how to do) to tell the data to increment on say an insert, update?



Thanks for any help



Jim
