How to generate a transaction number?
- by 001
I was thinking of formatting it like this
TYYYYMMDDNNNNNNNNNNX
(1 character + 19 digits)
Where
T is type
YYYY is year
MM is month
DD is day
N is sequencial number
X is check digit
The problem is, how do I generate the sequencial number? since my primary key is not an auto increment integer value, if it was i would use that, but its not.
EDIT can I have the sequencial number resets itself after 1 day (24hours).
P201012080000000001X <-- first
transaction of 2010/12/08
P2010120810000000002X <--- second
transaction of 2010/12/08
P201012090000000001X <--- First
transaction of 2010/12/09
(X is the check digit)
