(1) Don't use "default value". As you have seen, it wasted the sequence!
(2) Use "pre-insert" to get the next sequence for a new record. This way
you can do anything you want before or after generating the sequence
(select seqgenerator.nextval into :fieldname from dual).
(3) If you don't want to waste sequence number, don't use the cache/buffer
for the sequence when you create it. (read the manual for details)
Have fun.
