Numbering means the capability to perform other tasks using report numbers and document numbers that have been created primarily for one task. The table used for numbering is dedicated to number management only. Because multiple users need to access to this table simultaneously, it is necessary to minimize the lock processing to conduct speedy updating.

In this table, a function is provided that releases row locking as soon as the table update is complete without waiting for transaction confirmation, and that prevents subsequent rollbacks.

To define a table used for numbering, the WITHOUT ROLLBACK option must be specified in the CREATE TABLE definition SQL.

For details about numbering, see the HiRDB Version 8 UAP Development Guide.
