Re: HELP? Database Sequences Stopped Incrementing

This could be caused by the dual table . Perhaps you are missing the single row that is supposed to be in dual;

check if you have a valid sual table by

    select count(*) from dual;

if this should return 1 .
If not create an entry on the dual table.

I hope this helps !
