>Thanks, Hilmar. Nice point about PADR - I may need to adjust my procedure.
Note that my procedure creates the sequence if it doesn't exist. You don't have to adjust the sequence table manually - unless there is some unforeseen problem, or business procedures mandate that the sequence start at a certain value other than 1.
For a primary table, I just create the new table, and set the default value for the primary key to
SerialNumber("MyNewTable"). That's all.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
