What I have seen used are non-cycling sequences which are forced to cycle - the idea is to restart the numbering from 1 everyday. So, everyday at midnight the sequences are ALTERed so that their maximum is today's maximum, and they are forced to return to 1 - before making them NOCYCLE again. The big advantage on dropping and recreating them is that existing privileges stay in place and you don't have to GRANT SELECT to everybody ... -- Regards, Stephane Faroult Oriole Software -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Stephane Faroult INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
