This is an Oracle group , not Sybase or SQL Server, so the
'autoincrement' mechanism is far different. It is possible to use a
sequence value with a string to create a character-based, auto-
incrementing primary key:
SQL> create table keytest(
2 mykey varchar2(40) not null,
3 mydata varchar2(100),
4 constraint keytest_pk
5 primary key (mykey)
6 );
Table created.
SQL>
SQL> create sequence myseq
2 start with 1 increment by 1 nocycle nomaxvalue;
Sequence created.
SQL>
SQL> create trigger pop_key
2 before insert on keytest
3 for each row
4 begin
5 select 'ABC'||lpad(myseq.nextval,10,'0')
6 into :new.mykey
7 from dual;
8 end;
9 /
Trigger created.
SQL>
SQL>
SQL> begin
2 for i in 1..10 loop
3 insert into keytest
4 (mydata)
5 values
6 ('This is record number '||i);
7 end loop;
8
9 commit;
10
11 end;
12 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL>
SQL> select * from keytest order by 1;
