Bill,   When you do an export you have sequence numbers in cache.   Ramon ----- Original Message ----- From: Magaliff, Bill To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 10:53 AM Subject: RE: sequence question what do you mean about losing numbers after an import/export?  -----Original Message----- From: Ramon E.

Am I going to loose some numbers ? what is SEQUENCE_CACHE_ENTRIES and how does it affect number or sequence cached ?   Thanks , -Bp
