Re: currval = currval+1

[salah jubeh <s_jubeh@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have some rules on the table and I have dropped them and everything went fine. the rule is as follow

CREATE OR REPLACE RULE status_change_ins AS
    ON INSERT TO account  DO  INSERT INTO account_status_change_log (account_id, account_status_id, status_change_date)
  VALUES (new.account_id, new.account_status_id, now());

I do not know what is happing here, but this is a strange behavior.

Regards

works for me -- are you sure you don't have a trigger or something
else going on behind the scenes?
