Hello everyone.

  This one stumps me and I'm wondering if it is a bug that was resolved in 9i. Here is sample code.

Create sequence a;
Create table xxx(numtest number, testvalue varchar2(100));

Inside PL/SQL block and from SQL*Plus Prompt;

Insert into xxx(numbest, testvalue) values (a.nextval(), 'TEST');

PL/SQL: ORA-02287: sequence number not allowed here

Take out the () after the sequence name and all is well. Anyone experience something like this???
Application (not my code) written in 8i but imported the database into 9i.  

Thank You
