In modern versions of Oracle, is there some “standard” (stored procedure, additional CREATE syntax, etc.) way to setting up a table with auto_increment/identity style column, or are we still stuck manually creating the table, creating the sequence, and creating the trigger.

Update: I realize Oracle has no concept of an auto_increment. What I’m interested in is if any of the standard Oracle tools have automated away the creation of the sequence and trigger, or if the DBA is left to create the needed queries/commands to create the sequence and trigger themselves.

    If you want a sequentially incrementing ordered values, then no, SEQUENCE is the only choice.

    If you want just an identity, use SYS_GUID()
