Creating ORACLE sequence

Hi,
I have a variable called ID. Now I want to insert values into a talble which has this ID field. I have intialised this variable to 1. I want to create an oracle sequence for this field(ID) so that I can use ID.nextval in my insert statement in order to populate this field.
How can I do it.
Thanks in advance

Did you search before you post this? An example for how to create and use sequence is given below.
SQL> CREATE TABLE T(ID NUMBER(10));
Table created.
SQL> CREATE SEQUENCE SEQ_ID
2      START WITH 1
3      INCREMENT BY 1
4      NOMINVALUE
5      NOMAXVALUE
6      NOCYCLE
7      CACHE 20
8      NOORDER
9 /
Sequence created.
SQL> INSERT INTO T VALUES(SEQ_ID.NEXTVAL);
1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO T VALUES(SEQ_ID.NEXTVAL);
1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO T VALUES(SEQ_ID.NEXTVAL);
1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO T VALUES(SEQ_ID.NEXTVAL);
1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO T VALUES(SEQ_ID.NEXTVAL);
1 row created.
SQL> select * from t;
        ID

Hi,
Create sequence <sequence_name>
Start with <number>
increment by <number>
in database
eg:- create sequence test_seq
start with 1
increment by 1;
in forms
you can assign value in pre-insert trigger
Declare
cursor cur_seq is
select test_seq.nextval from dual;
begin
open cur_seq;
fetch cur_seq into :item_key ; /* :item_key give name of ur primary key field*/
close cur_seq;
end;

I am trying to create a sequence to be use as primary key in a Oracle table

Hi guys
I have the ODI version 10.3.5 and I am trying to create a sequence that populates de row_id for a table. The schema is a database.
And I want that this item will be the primary key of the table that is loaded at execute the interface however I'm getting issues.
So please advise me.

Hi ,
Can you please provide the following details :
1. What is the execution area of your sequence ? Is it source or staging or Target.
2. What IKM you are using ( I hope you are executing sequence in Staging or Target ) ?
My understanding is when you check Not Null , all your rows are going to Error table. So it is not giving any error.
When you uncheck the Not Null , it is giving error because Database is not allowing Null values in the Primary Key Column.
You can do the following to check if your sequence is working properly.
Try to write a Insert Select query in DB and execute it and see if it is working properly.
i.e.
insert into      EMPL     (
     EMPNO,
     ENAME,
     JOB,
     MGR,
     HIREDATE,
     SAL,
     COMM,
     DEPTNO
select      S_EMPNO.NEXTVAL,
     ENAME,
     JOB,
     MGR,
     HIREDATE,
     SAL,
     COMM,
     DEPTNO
from     EMP
or if you can provide your query in this format , it will help in finding the issue quickly.Also provide the KM details.

Mixing sun-database-binding with Oracle sequences

Hello,
I wish to insert rows inside the database, for instance rows representing persons, and rows representing their addresses. Primary keys for both person and address are Oracle sequence based.
My question is, if I insert a person, then one of her address, how can I retrieve the person ID for the address row to reference it.
The insert statement for the person is (for the moment) as follow
insert into Person (PERSON_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME) values (PERSON_SEQ.nextval, ?, ?)The problem with this approach is that I never know the person ID, and am unable to make any references to it in the address row.
I tried to add an operation in the NetBeans generated person table WSDL. This operation would execute this statement:
select PERSON_SEQ.nextval from dualBut, for the moment, it's a failure.
Could you provide me with some hints?

Hi,
First I would advise you to register and post on the [email protected] alias - you can find the details of how to do this on the OpenESB site..... you'll reach a larger audience this way.
Second, you need a Stored Procedure in Oracle to do this, then use this from the DB BC, here's one I created which does something similar, i.e. returns a value I'm interested in after an "Update" statement....
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "NEXTAPPNUMFINDER" (nextAppNum OUT NUMBER)
IS
BEGIN
UPDATE ACTIVE_APPLICATION_NUMBER
SET APPLICATION_NUMBER_NEXT = APPLICATION_NUMBER_NEXT + 1
RETURNING APPLICATION_NUMBER_NEXT
INTO nextAppNum;
END;
Hope this helps

Can't create a sequence within a pl/sql block with execute immediate.

Hi All. I created a user and granted it the 'create sequence' privilege though a role. In a pl/sql block I try to create a sequence using 'execute immediate' but get a 1031-insufficient privileges error. If I grant create sequence directly to the user, the pl/sql block completes successfully. Can anyone explain this behavior? We're running 11.2 Enterprise Editon.
Thanks,
Mark

In a definer's rights stored procedure (the default), you only have access to privileges that have been granted directly, not via a role.
There are two basic reasons for that. First, roles can be enabled or disabled, default and non-default, password-protected, etc. so the set of roles a particular user actually has is session-specific. Oracle needs to know at compile time what privileges the owner of the procedure has. The only way to do that (without deferring the privilege check) is to ignore privileges granted through roles.
Second, since 99% of privilege management DBAs do involves granting and revoking roles, it's helpful that changing role privileges will never cause objects to be marked invalid and recompiled which can have side-effects on applications. DBAs only need to worry about causing problems on those rare cases where they are granting or revoking direct privileges to users.
You can create an invoker's rights stored procedure by adding the clause (AUTHID CURRENT_USER). That defer's the security check to run-time but allows the procedure to see privileges granted through roles in the current session. But that means that the caller of the procedure would need to have the CREATE SEQUENCE privilege through the role, not the owner of the procedure.
And just to make the point, dynamic object creation in PL/SQL is almost always a red flag that there is something problematic in your design. If you are creating sequences dynamically, that means that you'd have to refer to them dynamically throughout your code which means that your inserts would need to use dynamic SQL. That's not a particularly easy or safe way to develop code.

How to create a SEQUENCE in MSSQL2005

Hi
I am also having a similar problem which opened the thread
Actually i am using a Repositery which is created in MSSQL2005.
Now i want to create a SEQUENCE similar to Oracle and populate My surrogate Key Column.
Can u tell me how to create a SEQUENCE in MSSQL2005?
Does anyone is having the sql syntax?
Thanks
Gourisankar

Hi Gourisankar,
There is no sequence concept in MS SQL Server rather it has IDENTITY.
In MS SQL Server if you declare a column type as a Identity it will be auto increment when a new record inserts.
So in you underlying table create a column as ID and type as "Identity" and in your mapping leave that field un mapped.
Have a look and google more on "identity in ms sql server" ;)

Bind variable with Oracle sequence

can we insert oracle sequence with the bind varaible
some thing like
seq       number(5);
begin
select myseq.nextval
        into seq        from dual;
dbms_sql.parse( l_cursor,insert into mytable (c1,c2,c3) values (seq,:1,:2),dbms_sql.native );
dbms_sql.bind_variable( l_cursor, :1,58);
dbms_sql.bind_variable( l_cursor, :2,9);
l_status := dbms_sql.execute( l_cursor );
end;
Thanks!

What are you trying there..
Why dynamic SQL?
Where is the exception block?
you have to use 'using ' to work with these kind of dynamic variables. Something like this (ugly code below)
CREATE SEQUENCE myseq;
create table mytable (c1 number,c2 number, c3 number;
DECLARE
   seq   NUMBER (5);
   A number;
   b NUMBER;
BEGIN
   SELECT myseq.NEXTVAL INTO seq FROM DUAL;
   a := 1;
   b := 58;
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'insert into mytable (c1,c2,c3) values (:seq,:1,:2)'
      USING seq, a, b;
   a := 1;
   b := 100;
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'insert into mytable (c1,c2,c3) values (:seq,:1,:2)'
      USING seq, a, b;
   COMMIT;
END; --- Check you need to have proper exception block.
Cheers,
Manik.

How to use A RowSet with an Oracle sequence

Hi,
I created a RowSet with the RowSet wizard and it asked me if I wanted to use database created primary keys. I'm using Oracle so I selected this option and want to use Oracle sequences. But I don't find where should I configure the name of the Oracle sequence. Accordingly I cannot insert through the RowSet.
Many thanks in advance.

There is NO way to use a mouse with the iPad, you will have to either use your finger or a stylus to navigate around the screen.

How to create a sequence using Toplink for DUAL table

Hi All,
How do I create below sequence using TOPLINK
CREATE sequence my_seq start WITH 1;
Regards,

Hi Dheeraj,
Sequence Object should be created in Database and specify the type of sequence that will be used in toplink to create sequence value.For example,sequence objects created in database needs to be configured using Native Sequence.
For more information refer to the below link.Use JDeveloper Toplink Wizards for declarative programming of Toplink native Sequencing.

How to Create a Sequence that generates in IP form?

Hi,
I want to create a sequence that can generate an IP nos. like
224.0.0.1
224.0.0.2
224.255.255.255
Is this possible?
Thanks a lot,

Hi KinsaKaUy,
Then, just format it as an IP address (exercise left to you)
Any hint please :)There is a way of converting from IP Address to IP Number - N.B. two different* things.
Take a look at this [url https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=10424504]thread, and this [url https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=10420648]one, esp. my responses.
You can convert IP addresses into decimals (and vice versa) and work with them that way - it often
makes life easier - I think this should be what you want.

Oracle Sequence not incrementing Properly

I created a sequence in Oracle with increment by one.
But after 700 it is jumping to 736,766...................
I dont know why this is jumping like this.
plz tell me why it is happening like this.

Have you ever asked questions on Oracle forums? My
threads seem to follow a consistent route:
Well I don't want to question the veracity of your experiences surely there is a better forum for Oracle questions than this one? I mean even the JDBC forum would have been a better fit.
>
As to the original post; sounds like an overflow,
doesn't it? Really going to -1 but interpretted as
unsigned. How are you using the sequence, and how is
it defined?That's a strange number to be doing that at 700 if you ask me though I suppose it's possible.
My wild guess was going to be that the sequences in question were previously used and so were skipped. I don't really feel either way that the OP provided enough information about the problem they are experiencing or even indeed why it is a problem at all.

Can i create a sequence using java?

Hi,
I have a problem here.
I have to update records to my oracle9i database.
One of the fields in my tables has to be auto number, meaning whenever i add records to this table, this fields will automatically be updated jus like a counter.
I am told that i could do this by writing a sequence. can any1 help me out?
Thanks a million!

To create a sequence in Oracle you can use this (with SCHEMA being replaced by whatever Schema that you are adding the Sequence to)...
CREATE SEQUENCE SCHEMA.SEQUENCEGENERATOR
START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 MINVALUE 1 CACHE 20 NOCYCLE NOORDER ;
From a stored procedure or java code you could
then use the following to get the next available number
SELECT SEQUENCEGENERATOR.nextval INTO v_record_id from dual;
This may or may not work for your needs. Everytime the Select statement is executed a number will be "used". As an alternative you could use something like .... Select Max(number) from Table (this could be table that contains your "auto number" or a seperate support table.

Oracle Sequence

I created a sequence and i am using a trigger on a field to generate the number, however there are existing number in the table that are within the sequence range
so i created to following code to look for existing numbers in the database then give a new sequence number. The sequence works fine but does not read the existing number in the database to give a new sequence number.
declare
v_pin_number_seq   varchar2(6);
CURSOR pin_no
   IS
   select pin_number from pin_request;
   pin_rec pin_request.pin_number%type;
Begin
open pin_no;
fetch pin_no into pin_rec;
    SELECT PIN_NUMBER_SEQ.NEXTVAL
    INTO v_pin_number_seq
    FROM sys.dual;
     If v_pin_number_seq != pin_rec then
    :pin_number := v_pin_number_seq;
else
    SELECT PIN_NUMBER_SEQ.NEXTVAL
    INTO v_pin_number_seq
    FROM sys.dual;
End if;
   close pin_no;
END;

Wrong forum, this is the Oracle Designer forum. You could ask this question inside the Oracle Database forum.
Not sure what you are trying to do?
Do you have to re-sequence the table in the database? Or do you not want to prevent errors when the value of sequence exists inside the database,. You could also reset your sequence to the max value of the pin_number from the table.
The code above also does not loop over the table. It only checks the current value of the sequence against the current pin_number and it only increments the sequence once.

Oracle Sequence migration during an upgrade

Hi,
Firt of all Iam not a DBA, But we have a problem which I would like to know more about , we are planning on migrating to Oracle 8.1.7 from an older version and new Oracle Databases were created from the DUMP taken from old database..and when I was testing some functionality I found out that the SEQUENCES that were existing in the old database didn't get migrated to the new database...I had to create them inorder to test my application.
My question is does oracle sequences get created automatically in this situation or we need to explicitly create them, because mu understanding was that all the objects get created automatically when you create it from DUMP.
I would appreciate your help in this matter..
Thanks,
Ramki

The project module interfaces with a lot of other modules in Oracle (Purchasing, GL, costing, and possibly OM and Manufacturing).
For Projects implementation, you will have to test those modules.
If you don't implement projects now, you will have to do a full blown regression testing for the upgrade and then again for the Projects implementation.
The one disadvantage I see is that you will require more resources because you are doing 2 activities in parallel.

Back numbers in Oracle sequences

We are using a J2EE based tool that uses Oracle as backend. For several purposes the tool use the oracle sequences. As per general rule the every time the sequence is referred, it generates a next higher number and returns the same for any kind of storage purposes like primary key, etc. But in rare cases we have got a previous number of the sequence instead of a next higher value. We aren't sure if that previous number was ever used before or not. But the problem is how does the oracle sequence return a previous number? e.g. we have a sequence running as 220, 221, 222, etc. then suddenly instead of returning 223 the next time, it may give the number 214 (or basically any previous number).
Does anybody know why does that happen? What could be the possible reasons and how it can be avoided? It creates confusion amongst users and does not seem just right to get a previous number. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Connection pooling should have no effect on this issue since the Oracle sequences should be cached in Oracle and not in the pooled session.
RAC as mentioned would since each instance would have its own sequence cache: instance A values 1 - 5, instance B values 6 - 10, instance C 11 - 15.
Then depending on which instance the user session was connected to the ticket numbers would appear to be selected from an earlier point in the sequence.
On a non-RAC instance you can see this apparent behavior where the application gets the sequence number on the first screen and passes the value to later screens but the number is not inserted into a database table until the final screen that creates the ticket. If it takes the user longer to create the ticket than other users who started later then the ticket number would appear earlier than the earlier created tickets.
The solution to this "problem" for non-RAC or RAC is to insert a timestamp at the time of ticket creation (or start) and to process the tickets in timestamp rather than ticket number order. After all the ticket number is just an identifier and there is really no logical reason that tickets have to be processed in ticket number order.
If it is a political issue then you could use a dual key system. Assign one key at creation time, transaction key, and then assign the ticket number via batch based on either the timestamp of when ticket entry started or was submitted. Now the ticket numbers represent whatever order you need. You can notify the users of the ticket number via email.
