Hello, When you first use a sequence PEAR::DB creates it in the DB, so you don't *have* to create it beforehand, you can though, in which case it has to be of the form 'sequencename_seq' without the quotes and if you left the default values. You can change the format of the string used to create the sequence to match your own preferences. If you create it you must not set it to autoincrement but better to INT unsigned. If I'm not clear do not hesitate to ask again ;) Arnaud. > I'm a bit confused by sequences. Does the name you use for a sequence > need to be that of a sequence you've created on the database?
