Guys,

one of my developers is using sequence to auto-increment the value of a column while inserting.

he has created a sequence like this.

SQL > create sequence testseq start with 1;

and then uses a INSERT statement as below in a JSP.

insert into testtab values ('BREAD'||testseq.nextval);

after some inserts .....when he does SELECT from TESTTAB...he finds
the values as :

BREAD1
BREAD2
BREAD3
BREAD4
BREAD21
BREAD22 it should increment by 1.but it is not so ?

any hint/clue ????

Regards,
Jp.
