Why can't you use a sequence? As in: create sequence seq; create table a(x int default next value for seq); create table b(y int default next value for seq); This assumes you didn't specify the value when inserting into the table, or used the term "default" (as documented): insert into a values(default); update a set x = default; There is also a non-standard way to automatically convert null to default: create table a(x int default next value for seq null_to_default); Regards, Thomas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "H2 Database" group.
