| This is probably crazy talk, but in Postgresql is there any way to have a "keyed" sequence? That is, I have a table with a list of departments. While *relatively* static, technically speaking this is a dynamic list - someone certainly could decide to add a department, or combine two departments into one new one, whatever. In any case, I would ideally like to have a sequence per department, but since the list is dynamic it's not as simple as creating 33 independent sequences and then having a lookup table somewhere, although I guess I could implement something of the sort with triggers. Is there any elegant way of accomplishing this? Something like SELECT nextval('department_seq['ops'])? ----------------------------------------------- Israel Brewster Systems Analyst II Ravn Alaska 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 (907) 450-7293 ----------------------------------------------- |
