Hello,

In our Oracle database the ID field of each table is filled by a unique Oracle sequence for each table.
Before insert of a new record our client/server application asks for a new ID (select tablename_seq.nextval from dual)
The value received from the sequence is used during insert of the record.

Is it possible that OA uses the same mechanism to fill the ID when a new object is created? How can I implement this in my OA model?

Hello Henk Boen,

 In order to set up things to work with OpenAccess you can create a trigger on insert of a row and set the value of the ID column using the Oracle sequence. You should specify the 'AUTOINC' key generator for the class,using the Forward mapping wizard.

During runtime, OpenAccess will use the sequence generated ID value to maintain object identity.

Hope this answers your question.

Hello,
I have the same problem like in the first post:
In our Oracle database the ID field of each table is filled by a unique Oracle sequence for each table.
Before insert of a new record our client/server application asks for a new ID (select tablename_seq.nextval from dual)
The value received from the sequence is used during insert of the record.

I cannot use database trigger. I don't know why but my application architect has forbidden me to use trigger in database.
My question is:
Is it possible use some different technique for inserting value from sequence to inserting row without trigger ?
- maybe modify final SQL insert statement, where I would replace inserting value for SEQ_PK.nextval function
- or is it possible define default value for primary key column where it will SEQ_PK.nextval function like column value ??

Thanks
Tomas
