Question

Can you any one tell me how to generate auto number in SQL? I have tried but it shows the following error

“Incorrect sytnax near AUTO_INCREMENT”.

What am I doing wrong?

create table auto1
(
    Sno int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, 
    fname varchar(50)
)   

Answer 1

I assume you are using SQL-Server where the syntax is different compared to other DB engines

create table auto1 
(
    Sno int NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1), 
    fname varchar(50) 
) 

See here for details on table creation.
