[Quoted]         I made a sequence in a table "test" by the following SQL:



[Quoted] create table registration
  (user_id number NOT NULL primary key,
   user_name varchar2(11)
  );

[Quoted] create sequence user_id_seq start with 1 increment by 1 nocycle;


        After I insert some values to the table, how could I know the max sequence number? Is there a table to store the sequence? I don't want to select it from the table and the compare the largest number as it needs a lot of time. Any method that could allow me to get the max sequence number? Thanks a lot.
