Re: How Can I get A sequence Current Value in PROC
Yes, sequenceName.CURRVAL Note that this provides the current value for the session: i.e. the value that was last returned by NEXTVAL within that session. Therefore: 1. NEXTVAL must have been called at least once before in the session to define CURRVAL. 2. Even if NEXTVAL is called for the sequence in another session, CURRVAL in the original session will relate to the previous call to NEXTVAL in the original session - it does not increment. - Bill.

RE: How Can I get A sequence Current Value in PROC
I don't know But You can get last_number from dba/user_sequences view I just looked at this view and found some interesting results If sequence is nocache then it seems last_number really is the last number But if some sequence values are stored in cache then last number values are something like starting_value + n * increment_by * cache_size enjoy!!! :-) I don't know if it is written somewhere in the docs.

Hi Yes. Try sequenceName.CURRVAL. Once you've retrieved a value, you can refer to this value as often as you want to with CURRVAL.

RE: How Can I get A sequence Current Value in PROC
Afternoon, I had always assumed that this was because, before you get the next number for a sequence using NEXTVAL, there ISN'T a current value. There is only the last number generated, visible in the dictionary. NEXTVAL initialises the current value, setting it to (LAST_NUMBER + INCREMENT_BY). This becomes the current value to be used by that transaction. Other transactions that have not used NEXTVAL do not have a current value from that sequence (but can look at the value in the dictionary).
