    mmhhhh... rowid is a pseudo column that singles out each row in your table but you do not generate it, well... actually if you insert a row Oracle would generate "automatically" the rowid for you; isn't that great?

    Is that a fact? I think you clearly asked for rowid, whatever.
    Your answer is Yes. Have you ever heard about Oracle Sequences? just google it.
