I'm not sure what you mean by record key. If you mean the primary key, then it's simply the PK column(s) on that table.

If you mean Oracle's ROWID, then try:
select rowidtochar(rowid) from my_table;

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
*IN ONE SQL STATEMENT* can I create (or add) a record and get the value of the auto increment field returned to me?
I am unfamiliar with the mechanics of this messageboard so am going to post this now as a new question also.
