Peter,

Thanks for the response!

Unfortunately, that worked but a new error arose:

check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right 
syntax to use near 'ID = (select max(CONVERT(id_field, signed)) from 
my_table_t)' at line 1

Is there a better way to generate incremented sequence IDs?

Can this be done in a stored function?


Is there a particular reason why you cannot use an auto_increment column to atomically create your sequence number?
