    const ORDER_TABLE = 'sales_order';

    /**
     * @var ResourceConnection
     */
    private $resourceConnection;

    public function __construct(
       ResourceConnection $resourceConnection
    ) {
       $this->resourceConnection = $resourceConnection;
    }

    /**
    * get AutoIncremntFieldName using Query
    *
    * @return string|bool
    */
    public function getAutoIncremntFieldName()
    {
      $connection  = $this->resourceConnection->getConnection();
      $tableName = $connection->getTableName(self::ORDER_TABLE);
      $getFieldName = $connection->getAutoIncrementField($tableName);

      return $getFieldName;
