Need an Insert Key? Try the free utility remapkey.exe from Microsoft

Question

After much searching, I was growing tired of trying to figure out how I could have an "Insert Key" on my macbook. I run Bootcamp with Vista Business, and do lots of cutting in pasting.
I came across this blog which is simple, straightforward and informative. I won't bother explaining everything as he does a much better job than I probably would - but essentially if you download the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools, it includes a utility called remapkey. It's a very slick tool indeed! I converted my right hand Apple Command Key to my Insert key in all of about 3 minutes. For those interested, read on .......

Oh my god, it is too long! You definitely check out types, casting and especially ODP.Net (it does everything for you)... etc. They can help you to simplify your code. I do not have enough time to copy paste it to Studio and understand and solve your issue, so I got title of your message as your main question.
In Oracle, you can create an autonumber field by using sequences object. This is really useful when you need to create a unique number to act as a primary key.
Basically you can create a sequence simply typing;
CREATE SEQUENCE MY_SEQUENCE;
now you have a sequence called "MY_SEQUENCE"... Then, I advice you select a number from sequence;
select MY_SEQUENCE.nextval from dual;
I said I advice actually kinda must, although it called sequence, I cannot be sequential. Do not even try to predict the value. You can be sure that it is unique number so you can use it.
Then insert you record and use that number part of your primary key. I think that's it. Have fun.
