Auto-increment sequence

Hi,

I wrote a sequence to generate unique ID numbers for a table, along with a before insert trigger. I'm also writing an application in Delphi to access this database. I'm using 9i and Delphi 5.

My problem is this: When I run the insert procedure, and come up against a not null violation, the sequence increments anyway, and the next time I successfully insert a record, the previous number is skipped. How do I avoid this problem and keep the number in sequence?

Thanks,
