09/28/2018, 6:45 PMCareful thinking of NS as a database; it has one behind it of course, but you don't interact with it that way as a developer.
You'll likely have to write your own unique generation system, depending on exactly what type of record you're working with. NetSuite does provide a native system for numbering record types sequentially
