Re: shared database sequence.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

I guess having separate sequences with odd and event sequence numbers would going to work.
The scenario is like to have two databases one at local site and another at remote site (not at far distance) and replicate the information or sync the data between two databases actively. Its very highly OLTP with more than 400 transaction per second. Therefore, synonym or getting nexval through dblink would probably is not acceptable.
