I created a sequence on my database table.
I was only going to implement the sequence on form level.
However, any time I try to insert records, the form gives an error that em_id (which is the sequence id) cannot be null.
Once you enter a value, it says that unique constraint has been violated.
My form is designed to accept duplicates.
How do I resolve this?
Please help urgently!!
thank you
 
Ok, good friends,
I am proud to say that I have resolved this on my own.
Here is the code in case anyone needs it in the future:

declare
next_seq number;
begin
select max(Emp_id)into next_seq from yourDBtable;
next_seq := next_seq + 1;
:Emp_seq_no := next_seq;
insert_record;
end;
