Looking for equivalent to "next value" in View

Hi community,

I'm looking for a way to create a view with an autoincremented column, starting at the max value of a column in another table.

As an example the TPC-DS view "item_view" has the same requirement.

CREATE VIEW item_view as

SELECT next value for item_seq i_item_sk

,item_item_id....

I tried item_seq.NEXTVAL , but it turns out that HANA doesn't support sequences in Views.

How can I solve this problem??

Thanks for your help!

Kind Regards

Demian
