PowerApps cannot generate an automatically increasing ID in Postgres itself. However, you can create a sequence in Postgres to generate an automatically increasing ID and use this sequence in your PowerApps application.
To create a sequence in Postgres:
CREATE SEQUENCE my_sequence
INCREMENT BY 1
START WITH 1
This creates a sequence named my_sequence
that increments by 1 and starts with 1.
nextval
function to get the next value from the sequence. For example, to get the next value from my_sequence
, use the following SQL command:SELECT nextval('my_sequence');
This will return the next value from the sequence.
my_sequence
sequence by selecting the SQL Server option and entering the appropriate connection details and SQL syntax to generate a sequence for your specific datasource.Now, when you create a new record in your app, you can use the nextval
function from the Postgres sequence to generate an automatically increasing ID for that record.
