Guys, one of my developers is using sequence to auto-increment the value of a column while inserting.
he has created a sequence like this. SQL > create sequence testseq start with 1; and then uses a INSERT statement as below in a JSP. insert into testtab values ('BREAD'||testseq.nextval); after some inserts .....when he does SELECT from TESTTAB...he finds the values as : BREAD1 BREAD2 BREAD3 BREAD4 BREAD21 BREAD22 it should increment by 1.but it is not so ? any hint/clue ????
