[Quoted] I'd like some suggestions how to get a SEQUENCE (nextval o currval) ...

sometimes it's useful to get it before the INSERT or UPDATE statement ... at the moment I get the SEQUENCE value from a one-record table (eg DUMMY) with the
following:
SELECT seq_name.NEXTVAL FROM DUMMY;

but I do not like it to much

anybody has a better idea?

thank you

please,
answer directly to my e-mail, too
