hi
I have the following problem:
I create the following table:
CREATE TABLE address (
address_id int PRIMARY KEY ,
street VARCHAR(40),
zipcode INT,
city VARCHAR(40),
country VARCHAR(40)
);
Now, I want the address_id to get incremented
every time I insert a value into the table.
for example:
INSERT INTO address VALUES('mainstreet 12', 85253, 'munich', 'Germany')
;
without specifying a value for the id.
a friend told me, that this works in MySQL with something
like "auto_increment". I do not know much about MySQL so I do not
know if this is true.
Can you please tell me, how to do this in postgresql????
thanks a lot
regards
markus
