How about using DBMS_JOB to do the reset for you?

I have a need to reset a sequence number at 00:01 everyday. I thought about creating a trigger to check the time, but thought that there might be a better way than checking the time every time a record is being added. I also thought about checking the max date on the table and comparing against the system date. When system date > max then reset the sequence number. I like this logic better and thought of holes with using the time. The only problem I have is that this seems like a lot of overhead every time I add a record, which will be often. Is a trigger the only method available to me?
Thanks,
Laura
