Hi, I have one field that needs to be incremented automatically, but be scoped to another column. So it should increment based on the last value of the previous row with the same value of the scoped column.

So the quotes table

One of my models has a column that is updated very frequently from a separate process, so it is important that when a record is saved in rails, this column should be left alone.
