If table are in DBC, you can do it like everybody else does, with a function in the default value of the PK that gets an autoincrementing number from another table that stores all table's Pks. If the table is free, you can still use the same concept, you just have to handle it manually in code from everywhere that records get added to the table, and you can't use a dbc's stores procedure.
