asp_web_howto thread: give a unique number to a set of events


Message #1 by "Dovidas, Mark" <Mark.Dovidas@b...> on Mon, 18 Dec 2000 11:51:22 -0500
Hi,

I'm trying to give a unique number to a set of events being entered into a

database.( Autonumber is already used.)  I have a group of events that are

calculated by code (ex: dates of the 1st Tuesdays of each month).  There is

a good chance of a lot of info within them to be similar.



The only idea I can come up with is to add the Date & Time Serial numbers

and assign that result to the whole batch of numbers. 



One other question- I am doing this to edit these events all at once, all I

can do is delete them and rewrite them. I wrote a sql statement but it

doesn't cut it if the dates are changed. If anyone has any ideas... 

Thanks

Use a sequence table using the create sequence command.
