Does anyone know why Oracle forces you to use NEXTVAL before doing CURRVAL. I would think sometimes you would want to use CURRVAL without incrementing sequence first.

Thanks

You can use another pseducolumn CURRVAL but you must use at least once per session the NEXTVAL before using the CURRVAL or else you would get the ORA-08002 error.

...
SELECT <your_sequence>.CURRVAL INTO <your_variable> FROM dual; ...

Hi

when writing a program PROC <sequenceName>.NEXTVAL points to the next value of a sequence, is there anything like <sequenceName>.SOMETHING that returns current value of sequence.

Thanks
