Hi,



Does Oracle has a way to define a table such that the primary key gets
auto-incremented with each new insertion? If not, how do you keep your
primary keys unique? (With a store value read and incremented in a
transaction?)



I have a databse devloped orignally for MySQL and want to port it to
Oracle 8. I wondered about this issue.



Thanks!
