Hi!

Assuming you use SQL Server once you mentioned the identity column.

The approach is simple - use the stored procedure and a table that holds the last ID number for each table. Stored procedure gets 2 parameters - table name and output parameter - the next ID number. Call that SP using SQLEXEC() function for which you get the SQL handle from the view using CursorGetProp("ConnectHandle") function. The command for that SQLEXEC is "EXEC" for mentioned stored procedure with use of appropriate table name and "?" for returning result of SP in output paraeter. In the stored procedure just use the single UPDATE command like described in the Thread #533898 Message #534192 (id is a table, KeyName is a table name).

It is recommended also to read that thread completely for better understanding from the SQl Server point of view.

HTH.
