Re: View current seq. no.

Shriley,
  then you should define what you identify as "current value".

  LAST_NUMBER would give you the DB wide last sequence number     fetched, while sequence.curval would give you the current     sequence number of your session.

  The difference is important and it depends what you are     trying to accomplish.

  Imagine having cache 10, user A fetches, user B fetches     for user A it might be 1, for B it might be 11,     but the DB can only guarantee that 20 was the last     fetched ... if B uses all 10 sequences or not.

  The real USED last sequence can only be derived from the    target you stored the sequence into.

Dante
