    Insert Trigger

    I know this should be simple but I'm lost.

    I want to create a trigger that will fire before insert on a table to get the next sequence value for the primarykey of the table:

    create or replace trigger wells_ins_row
    before insert on Wells
    for each row
    begin
    WellID := wellsid_seq.nextval;
    end;
    /


    The table is name Wells and the column WellID is the PK for the table. There is a wellsid_seq created to get the sequence number from.

    Code:
    create or replace trigger wells_ins_row
    before insert on Wells
    for each row
    begin
    select wellsid_seq.nextval into :new.WellID from dual;
    end;

    I am not sure what is the issue you are facing. But, try something like this:
    select wellsid_seq.nextval into WellID from dual;
