ah jeez, you ferrin car drivers, always making thangs complicated when all you need is a big hammer cubic inch approach.

What next? Setting maxvalue equal to the current number and selecting one number? Renaming the sequence and creating a synonym to point to another? Asking WHY he needs to do this, only to find out that the code is flawed since it should not rely on absolute serialization from a sequence in the first place, for god's sake?

Don't you know that promoting alternate lifestyle DBA ideas you are encouraging the inexperienced to question authority and addin' to the moral corruption of Ameruca?

Stop poisonin the newbies with fancy ideas about reverse select and such as that. If recreate was good enuf for us, it is darn sure good enuf for them!

<end jingoistic rural reactionary rant>

I slay me. I am gonna be at work in one hour, and then we can DO STATS!
