Hi,
If I understand correctly what you are asking is to insert a Sequence into one of the columns of a table directly without user typing in.
If this is correct,
you can write a before insert database trigger
on that table which fires for each row...
the code will look like
create or replace trigger ins_CustTable
.....
...
begin
select Sequence_Name.Nextval
into :new.confirmation_Number
from dual;
--where confirmation_number is the column in
--CustTable where u are trying to insert.
end;
goodluck
Madhav
