This is going to be one of those stupid problems of mine.I have an insert trigger setup to verify that duplicate or repeating information isn’t storage in the table.If trigger function finds the information as a duplicate it returns a NULL and the information isn’t added; that works.The problem I’m having is that it is incrementing the sequence counter even when the data isn’t added.Is this something that I have to live with or should I be returning something other than a NULL?
I have a function to re-sequence the table and reset the sequence counter in another application.Normal for that application because of the constant adding and deleting.So if there isn’t another answer then I can write a version of that for this application and run it weekly/monthly depending on need and use.It just drives me nuts with large holes in the table.
