I have the need to use an autoincrement field in a database so the primary
key will be unique. However I don't know the SQL syntax for it. I've tried
"AUTO_INCREMENT", "AUTOINC" and "AUTO_INC" when creating the table fields
but get a failure "Syntax error in field definition". Does anyone have a
brief example of doing this or the syntax?

Kindest Regards,


Kim Utley
