Probably you use the (default) 'cache 20' and shut down the database between the 'BREAD4' and 'BREAD21' insert. Or you use OPS/RAC, which cause each instance to cache this '20' numbers. This can be avoided by using the 'nocache' option, but then you serialize access to the sequence number, which can be a very bad idea from the performance perspective..

Mario

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.
