Re: Stored Procedure (or SQL) to get a value then update it to +1

Replace the file with a 'sequence' data area.

Stored procedures are not strong in this one.;-)

We have a "constant" file that holds the next sequence number for one of
our applications. I now need to access that from an external application.
I
am hoping I can write a stored procedure to essentially

SELECT nextkey from CONSTANT
UPDATE CONSTANT SET nextkey = nextkey + 1

How would I put this one stored procedure?
