This is what I've done:
-- 1 - Creating the Sequence: CREATE SEQUENCE users_code_seq > INCREMENT 1 > MINVALUE 1 > MAXVALUE 9223372036854775807 > START 1000; > CACHE 1; -- 2 - Setting the DEFAULT ALTER TABLE public.users ALTER COLUMN code SET DEFAULT > NEXTVAL('users_code_seq'); -- 3 - Setting the column as NOT NULL; > > ALTER TABLE public.users ALTER COLUMN code SET NOT NULL; -- 4 - Setting the trigger CREATE TRIGGER public.update_code_column > BEFORE UPDATE OR INSERT > ON public.users > FOR EACH ROW > EXECUTE PROCEDURE public.users_code_seq; -- 5 - Creating a CONSTRAINT UNIQUE > ALTER TABLE public.users > ADD CONSTRAINT uc_users_code UNIQUE("code"); Is that right? Am I missing something? Cheers Lucas
