Hamid,

Here is one way:

SQL> select myseq.currval from dual;

CURRVAL

SQL> alter sequence myseq nocache;

Sequence altered.

SQL> alter sequence myseq maxvalue 4 cycle;

Sequence altered.

SQL> select myseq.nextval from dual;

NEXTVAL

SQL> REM ---> Other alter sequence commands to change maxvalue, cache, nocycle etc.

Now, you get to do the tricky part of automating it ;) Because, I have not attempted to do it, yet.

HTH,

Kirti
