  running an insert into a table where a column has a constraint for unique records

  i have an autonumber pk that increments but numbers are not in sequence etc. if constraints are found

  e.g.

  10 records are inserted but only 2 are unique but there is a gap of 8 in the PK autoincrement value (it's like the unique records that were not inserted are still being recorded by the autoincrement)

  Any way around this ?

  Post DDL for the table, including the constraints, defaults, and indexes. Also the insert statement.
