Hey friends,

I am developing an applicationn using VB 6 and Oracle.
Can any1 tell me how to make sure that when I store data in Oracle db through VB, It is stored automatically in sorted form by a field empcode?

AFAIK, there is no guaranty that data will always stored sorted based on emp_id, you can retrieve it using "ORDER BY" clause to get it in order.

^Thats true

or you can write an SQL query to export the sorted results to another table.

Or you can write a check statement while inserting.

CHECK (new_id>MAX(select id from table_name))
//then insert here.

Second method is what you have asked for.
