This is from an old discussion I found about adding an autonumber to sde geodatabase.
"You can't use DBMS level autonumbering on SDE versioned feature classes. Since edits actually occur in the delta tables, and aren't pushed to the business table until compression occurs, new numbers wouldn't be assigned until compression time (and this type of implementation would like cause compression to fail). You need to implement your numbering using ArcObjects (or wait until 9.2 which will support editing of non-versioned feature classes which will allow you to to rdbms sequence generation for stand alone feature classes)."
Could someone explain how to do what is mentioned in the parenthesis at the end of the paragraph? This sounds like exactly what I need. I am developing in C#.
