Hi friend i created a simple seq. for auto-increamenting empno.

Code for sequence :
--------------------------

create sequence seq_empno
start with 8000
MAXVALUE 9000
INCREMENT by 1
nocache
nocycle

==========================================================

I created a form (herewith attached form),
my problem will arise supposed i pressed add button every time my seq. generated....but still i didnt press save button

Now scenario like this
1) prees add button
2) empno now become 8001
3) i neither enter any thing nor press SAVE button.
4) i press exit button
5) when i next time press add button same no ( 8001) will be generated again.
6) if this time i preess save button then empno would become 8002 on next time

I hope all of us undesrstand my scenarion

please helpp me

Bad news is that sequences don't work that way. Once it is "fired", it increments. If you need those values to increment by 1, always, you might need to create a table of "available" EMPNOs. You'd then fetch and store them into the EMP table in PRE-INSERT trigger.

And if you do use the LF's alternative only 1 user will be able to insert emp records at a time as you'll need to lock the table.

Which means that database BEFORE INSERT trigger might be a better choice?

Won't make much difference. You'd still need to lock the table before doing the insert.
Plus if you do something that causes the record to be posted and not committed you could be holding onto that lock for a long time.
If you want a detailed discussion on the cons search on asktom for gapfree sequence.
