[sana.khatib20]

i want code to calculate the reg_no automatically.it shld be self incrementing for every new patient and shld start from 1 every month and shld continue for the whole month.
plzz help

[babbu]

extract the last record from the database
extract the id part(the part tht is left after u separate the date part)
u can use substring method for this
then increment it and append the date

Hi Sana.khatib20!

I think your requirement is like such,
Reg_Id = Incremental_Id + Date_Id

To get Incremental_Id you must read no of records in that month.
e.g. select count (*) from example where month(date) = month(now())

And you know how to get Date_Id.:)
