Re: create table option

  My problem is that i do not acces from oracle, but from java, and i have to set the first element as auto-increment, i don't want, and i nearly can't, make the increment myself. Don't you know any other solution in the creation of the table that autorize the auto-increment.

  Thank's a lot for your answer.
