How do I get the select statement to execute after each insert?

Basically when the insert statement executes, I want it to add a new parent_label that is one higher than the last insert.

What I get, is it adds the same parent_label as the first. It isn't taking into consideration the last record inserted.


insert parenttmp (parent_label, parent_code)
  select BrandUpload.ParentCompany, 
         ( dbo.FunctionGetNextHighestLabel )
  from BrandUpload


*** FunctionGetNextHighestLabel  ***
var = select parenttmp.parent_label from parenttmp PLUS some alpha chars.

EX: 09FF

Thanks for any help.

why should you use a function for this? isnt it enough to use a custom sequence based on identity column like below?

The function was already written, so I wanted to use it instead of creating a trigger.

If a trigger is the easiest way to go, then I will just implement that.

I never suggested trigger

I was suggesting use of computed column to generate sequence as link explains!
