dmc_autoinc

 

Click in the "Auto Increment" box to define this column as having to be automatically filled in with a NUMERICAL value incrementing at each record imported and starting (first imported record) with the "Auto Inc 1st Numb." value

 

In this case the autoinc will start at 1 and the second record will have a value of 2 etc ....

 

You can also define the sequence to use (step) in the auto incremental generated by DMC

 

We have a check in code to retrieve the LAST DESTINATION record value and to add 1 to this value so as to avoid any DUPLICATE errors ( ie. : 101 records but "holes" in the count and last record value being say 103 - then the value displayed will be 104)

 

This option is VERY useful when you want to import records in an already filled in Table to add new records at the end
