Hi

Need some help from you. How does one write a script that will auto increment a varchar field. Assuming that it is defined as the primary key of a table.

Thanks

Justin,

A varchar is character data. What do you mean when you ask about incrementing such a field?

I needed to use a varchar field as the primary key of a table but want a script that can generate the needed value on each insert.

Thanks

Justin,

I suggest a that you use an insert trigger that will do the incrementing.

Hope this helps,

Eric
