Hello there,

How Can I define the default value of field of a table like sequence.nextval?
Do I need set the value by a Trigger (Before Insert)??

Thanx.

Yes, you will need a before row insert trigger to do this

if :new.pk_column is null then
select seq_name.nextval into :new.pk_column;
end if;

Sorry, that should be:

select seq_name.nextval into :new.pk_column from dual;
