Re: Trigger pgm to increment seq# in file

<Arco>
There is one caveat I don't like about them: when a transaction is rolled
back before completion, you'll lose the number that was used for the
identity in that transaction.

Auto increment implementation is not under transaction controll of your program. To solve this, you would need your own implementation (as a trigger or SQL function). Including the generated numbers in the inserting transaction has the drawback that insert operations are serialized limitting scalability.
