Exclamation Create table synthax
Hi !
I'm pretty new to Oracle. I was wondering if there's an equivalent to the row attribute IDENTITY (which increment by imself) in MSSQL Server when you create a table.
If yes, could you please give me a small exemple !

Thank you

more specifically: it goes something like:

create sequence sequence name start with 'enter a number' increment by 'enter a no'

eg:
create sequence stu_seq start with 1 increment by 1

But creating the sequence is only half of the story. The column still needs to be filled with the values from that sequence. For that you need to create a trigger which fills the column.
