I have a table of item
I wish to have the value of the item incremented if there is a duplicate.
I looked at ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE but this modifies the exsisting value.
If the item is my-item and this already exists, I need to make it my-item-2 (See http://tem-2.ora-code.com)
or even my-item-123 (See http://tem-123.ora-code.com) where 123 is the key.

Kind regards
Kevin
