LOL --- Actually, I can't laugh too much because this is, sadly, too true!

Do you get the feeling that business rules should have come somewhat earlier
in the project???

If the sequence is not cached then Oracle has to generate a new sequence number for every record inserted (CPU cycles). NOORDER is the default so that won't slow you up. If you're doing bulk loads why not cache the sequence numbers? Is it important that there be no gaps? Even with NOCACHE you can get gaps. If a sequence number is generated but the row
(insert or create) is not COMMITed the sequence number is not rolled back.

Unless there are fewer than 100 rows to be inserted I'd go with some caching.

                    Please

                    respond to

                    ORACLE-L










I have been given create scripts for sequences to be used in tables that will be loaded via bulk loads.  How huge is the potential performance hit if I take out the cache 20?
