| We would like to implement an Oracle sequence in MS-SQL Server without using identity column property.We've tried to impalement the naive way using a trigger updating a 'sequence' table every insert - the penalty was about 100%If we could create a global variable that is shared between sessions (database sessions) we might have been able to create a caching mechanism.Are you familiar with a way the above can be accomplished ?Anyone ? |

| And if you need an Oracle sequence, why aren't you using Oracle? |

Because identity column has a limitation of making a partiton view un-insertable ! |
