How do i get auto incremental key from my sequence?

I am trying to execute insert operation throught javascript method. 

 

var temp="INSERT INTO gowSampleDB(sSTG_ID,sATTRB_CD,sATTRB_VAL) VALUES ('9383677898998939','GOWTHAMANTEST','GOWTHAMTEST1')";
logInfo("My query :"+temp);
var strSql = sqlExec(temp);

 

 

but its throwing unique constraint exception. How do i refer to my sequence and get the next value to insert?

Hi @gowthamanrajendran ,

 

if your table has autopk defined as below (check table schema), you do not need to put it in your query, it will be increased automatically.

If you are using your own column as primary key, then database will thrown an error if you try to import value which already exist.

Check as well, if you have unique index on some column.

 

Regards,

Milan

    Hi,

    You can do it in schema, please check in schema, it should be configured like below

    <element autopk="true" name="<yourUniqueFieldName>"
    pkSequence="<yourSequenceName>" >

     

    In javascript, you need to define it like below

    var temp="INSERT INTO gowSampleDB(sSTG_ID,sATTRB_CD,sATTRB_VAL) VALUES ( yourSequenceName.NEXTVAL,'GOWTHAMANTEST','GOWTHAMTEST1')";
    logInfo("My query :"+temp);
    var strSql = sqlExec(temp);

     

    Let me know if it works.
