Auto Increment for Oracle

how sequence [auto increment in oracle]

syntax

Create sequence sequence_name
start with value
increment by value
minvalue value
maxvalue value;

example

SQL> create table emp (
emp_id number(10),
fname varchar2(25),
lname varchar2(25),
constraint pk_emp_id PRIMARY KEY(emp_id)
);

SQL> Create sequence emp_sequence
start with 1
increment by 1
minvalue 1
maxvalue 10000;

SQL> insert into emp (emp_id,fname,lname) values(emp_sequence.nextval,'Darvin','Johnson');
SQL> insert into emp (emp_id,fname,lname) values(emp_sequence.nextval,'Mig','Andrews');
SQL> insert into emp (emp_id,fname,lname) values(emp_sequence.nextval,'Alex','Martin');
SQL> insert into emp (emp_id,fname,lname) values(emp_sequence.nextval,'Jon','paul');
SQL> insert into emp (emp_id,fname,lname) values(emp_sequence.nextval,'Yatin','Bones');

in emp_sequence.nextval where emp_sequence is the name of sequence we created above and nextval is a function that is used to assign the next number from emp_sequence to emp_id column in emp table.

SQL> select * from emp;

  EMP_ID FNAME                     LNAME
---------- ------------------------- -------------------------
         1 Darvin                    Johnson
         2 Mig                       Andrews
         3 Alex                      Martin
         4 Jon                       paul
         5 Yatin                     Bones

Create the table and the sequence

SQL> create table staff (
  2    emp_id number primary key,
  3    staff_name varchar2(100)
  4  );

Table created.

SQL> create sequence emp_id_seq;

Sequence created.

Now, you can create a trigger that uses the sequence to populate the primary key

SQL> create trigger trg_emp_id
  2    before insert on staff
  3    for each row
  4  begin
  5    select emp_id_seq.nextval
  6      into :new.emp_id
  7      from dual;
  8  end;
  9  /

Trigger created.

Now, when you insert data, you woon't need to specify the EMP_ID column-- it will automatically be populated by the trigger

SQL> insert into staff( staff_name ) values ('Justin');

1 row created.

SQL> select * from staff;

    EMP_ID STAFF_NAME
---------- --------------------
         1 Justin

Try this:

create sequence seq_EmpID start with 1 increment by 1

 insert into Emp_Table values(seq_EmpID.nextval,'Ram')
