Re: Here is a good one ;-)

Ok, I have figured out that I need to use a stored procedure so that I can return the value of the new feedback Id. However, I am confused as to how to return this value. This is the procedure I am using:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Feedback_Id_Proc IS   Temp varchar2(30);
 BEGIN
  SELECT Feedback_ID_SEQ.NEXTVAL
  INTO Temp FROM DUAL;
  Temp := 'FB-'||Temp;
  Insert into Feedback (Feedback_Id) Values (Temp);   return(?????);

 End;
/

If someone could help me out with what I need to return it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,
Jeff
