How funny it is to quote myself :9 I'd like to add this: When one has to number
paper forms (invoices for instance), one must be careful about holes in
sequences. What I do, is to have two sequences. One for the user, and one for
the system. When the user has confirmed all her data, I'll COPY to another table
the data, which NOW doesn't have a chance to cancel. Well, not so sure, but 99%
of aborts, are user aborts. So this may help.
Note to Bruce (or current FAQ mantainer): Please, add both the answer to the
very question, and this addition of my own to the FAQ. I would have loved to
find it somewhere, when I didn't know what to do.
Regards,
Haroldo.
