Re: View current seq. no.

Your comment about each session having its own 'current' value (i.e. the most recent value it got using the nextval call) is correct, but your scenario of A and B alternating is not correct:

The sequence would be:

      A:1 B:2 A:3 B:4 A:5

There is a globally cached 'next value' for the sequence which is passed to whichever session asks for it.
