I wonder how tricky it would be for the DB team to come up with double identity column? For example, I have an order header file and I use an identity column for the order number. I insert a new row and use Identity_Val_Local() to retrieve the value of this new order. Now I insert into the order line file. However I have a known order number, Identity_Val_Local(). Now I want it to increment the order line number as a identity column. However I want it to start over at 1 for each new Order. Like the following: Order Order Line 00001 001 00001 002 00001 003 00002 001 00003 001 00003 002 00004 001 Rob Berendt -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
