Generate encoding String according to creation order.
- by Tony
I need to generate encoding String for each item I inserted into the database. for example:
x00001 for the first item
x00002 for the sencond item
x00003 for the third item
The way I chose to do this is counting the rows. Before I insert the third item, I count against the database, I know there're already 2 rows, so the next encoding is ended with 3.
But there is a problem. If I delete the second item, the forth item will not be the x00004,but x00003.
I can add additional columns to table, to store the next encoding, I don't know if there's other better solutions ?
