in thread Increment DB using Perl

You need a static ID. If you want to go based on the ordering of the select statement, try (not sure how many DB's support this):

SELECT ROWID, ID FROM REQUEST


and then update based upon that rowid (if possible)... but it's tricky when there's no key to go off of. I'm not even 100% sure that'll work.
