I am modifying an Access application to use attached Oracle tables instead of
Access tables for better performance across a WAN. I can attach and use the
Oracle tables, but I need to know how to reference Oracle sequences from
Access. I need to generate unique IDs like I did with the Counter field in
Access. I know how to create and use sequences in Oracle, but cannot
reference a sequence from Access to generate the number. The Oracle
documentation gives an example of an Insert SQL statement referencing
sequence_name.nextval. Does this apply to PL/SQL only, or can you do this
with standard SQL. I have tried this from Access, but it does not work. This
application will be rewritten, but I need to use the existing Access app with
Oracle tables as a quick fix. Please email jjackson_at_mail.capnet.state.tx.us
