>Hello,

>I worked on a table which has a primary index called "Key". This table is included in the DataEnvironment of one of my form, with Private DataSession. Problem occur when I tried to add (by APPENDing) a new record with a value which had been deleted previously. The message I got is "Uniqueness of Index KEY is violated." By PACKing the table after DELETEing a record would solve the problem. Is there any other way (other than RECALLing) which I could use back the same KEY value without having to pack the table? 'Cos I don't want to open the table as EXCLUSIVE.

You touched the reason why primary key should be surrogate, e.g. sequential number, which will never be repeated.
