I understand the auto-increment capability, but how would one share it amount three
different tables?
Would one have to do a rig, and create an extra table with increment in it, then get that
value to update table 1, then repeat process again to get new increment and put it into
table 2, etc.?
I am used to asking for the sequence.nextId, then using it in any table I need.
Am I missing something here, or does someone know how to handle this in multiple tables?
