Re: Cart Number sequence
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1997
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 14053
interpreted = N
texte = >I assume that a cart number assigned at 10:00am today is lower in number>then one assigned at 10:05am today. So one can sort on the cart number and>get the newest one at the top. Would there ever be a time that the cart>number would roll over and be a lower number. IE if cartnumber is greater>then 999 then cartnumber=1Cart numbers are guaranteed to be unique, but unfortunately they are not sortable the way you describe. If you're just looking for an ever-increasing number or some other way to 'serialize' records, you should look into using a counter of some kind instead. Or perhaps some [date][time] type of stuff.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
