Hello

i have a custom query which is getting max number from one of column. I want to get that number increment by 1 and then save that in different table. please refer following code:

def getmaxphasenumber(templaid)    self.find_by_sql("select max(templateid) from templates") end

maxnumber = Templatephases.getmaxphasenumber(templateid)

if !maxnumber.blank?      tmpnumber = maxnumber + 1 else     tmpnumber = 1 end

tmpnumber is returning an error. i tried maxnumber.to_i didnt work.

Please advice

thanks

Ajit
