Hi Walter

Your points are correct!

Having it in the stored procedure is giving you the advantage you can used it in Tables for PKs, local and remote views for PKs or any other (incremental) numbering entity, without the database beeing dependant on code outside the database. In this way it is also usefull for other application hooking into this database either natively or via ODBC.
