There is nothing wrong in what you are doing. It might be that there are lots
of requests for story_transaction_seq.NEXTVAL and by the time you reach the
next line it gets incremented by 1 again(unlikely, but possible).
I suggest you test it when you are sure that there will be no request for the
value from the sequence by any other session.

hello all,
I have a pl/sql procedure that selects the nextval from a sequence. The
problem is that it incrrements the sequence by 2 in a pl/sql procedure. If I
select the nextval from a sqlplus session, it works fine.
here is partial code that I am using.
PROCEDURE NEWTRANSACTION (v_storyid IN story.story_id%type,
v_transid OUT
story_transaction.trans_id%type ) IS
BEGIN
select story_transaction_seq.nextval into v_transid from dual;
.....
END
for debugging purposes, I made that code look like...
PROCEDURE NEWTRANSACTION (v_storyid IN story.story_id%type,
v_transid OUT
story_transaction.trans_id%type ) IS
v_value1 NUMBER; --debug code
v_value2 NUMBER; --debug code
BEGIN
select story_transaction_seq.currval into v_value1 from dual; --debug code
select story_transaction_seq.nextval into v_transid from dual;
select story_transaction_seq.currval into v_value2 from dual; --debug code
.....
END
when I ran this, v_value1 had a 200, v_transid had a 201, and v_value2 had a
202
taking the debug code out and hitting that procedure with a web page will
increment the v_transid by 2 each refresh of the page.
am i doing something wrong? I can't find any information on the web related
to this issue.
TIA
