Archaos,
You did not specify if the incrementation is done programmatically or by using a sequence. If you are using a sequence you could drop the sequence then recreate it. My experience with this type of item, is that it really doesn't matter what the value is, just as long as the value is unique.
DROP SEQUENCE schema.sequence_name;
CREATE SEQUENCE schema.sequence_name
START WITH n
INCREMENT BY n -- this can be ignored if you are incrementing by 1 NOMAXVALUE -- or MAXVALUE n if you want to stop at a certain level CACHE n; -- Cache a certain number if speed iscritical
Hope it helps.
Brian
