straight forward.

What an easy, yet simple and effective solution!

I frequently come across great simple solutions like this. Other solutions have involved creating a Sequence table to dish out Invoice numbers that need to be sequential and a table to hold system settings Settings(Setting VarChar(20), Value VarChar(100)).

Are there any books/urls that document such innovative solutions?
