I have an application using Sybase (COBOL programs) which I need to
implement using Oracle. The data base designer used an 'identity'
column', ". . . which means Sybase assigns a unique number to that column
when it is inserted into the table. We use that number then as the
primary key."
Does Oracle have a facility to automatically assign a unique number to a
column?
Thanks -
