Sequentially Incremented Values

Sequentially incremented values are commonly used to assign unique identifiers to records in database tables. These values are typically integers that automatically increase in value by one with each new record added to the table.

Chronological Order. Sequentially incremented values also allow for orders to be sorted and organized in chronological order. As new orders are added to the database, the order numbers increase sequentially, reflecting the order in which the orders were placed. This enables easy tracking and analysis of orders based on their creation or placement dates.

Use in Order and Transaction Numbers. Sequentially incremented values are commonly used to assign order numbers, invoice numbers, or transaction numbers. These values provide a unique identifier for each order or transaction, making it easier to track and manage business operations.
