this is probably the best way coz you wouldn't have you triggers, etc. invalidated. good trick. live and learn. :)
btw, that's good to temporarly revoke all the select privileges on sequence if you cannot guarantie that no one will select from it... or else this trick could play a bad joke.

  Its as simple as:

  get the most current value.
  alter the sequence to make the increment the negative value of that.   select from the sequence
  alter the sequence increment back to normal.

  If you need an example/specifics, email me direct.
