Hi,

You can write a pre-insert trigger at data block level.

You can also use the 'When-Create-Record' trigger.

If it is critical that there be no 'holes' in the displayed sequence please consider having a displayed key ('P001') and a hidden 'true' key based on an Oracle sequence. If is easier to handle in a multi-user environment.
