Generators
A Generator is a sequential number that can be automatically inserted in a column. A generator is often used to ensure a unique value in a PRIMARY KEY, such as an invoice number, that must uniquely identify the associated row.
Generator Editor allows you to define generator properties. It opens automatically when you create a new generator and is available on editing an existing one.
To open a generator in Generator Editor, double-click it in the DB Explorer tree.
