Passing sequence nextval in insert statement

Question

Hi,
Want to insert a record in table A using incremented sequence value to be get inserted in the ID column of table.
ID column is having a primary key constraint
created sequence test1_seq for that table
How to use this sequence number's NEXTVAL to be get inserted in ID column of table A, along with other data.
How to pass the values to the below procedure for inserting record ?
There are total six fields in the column
execute pk_test1.insert_test1('*How to pass next sequence value here ?*','rec2','rec3','rec4','rec5','rec6')
With Regards

Answer 1

Check this: You can create a trigger to insert a sequence value in to a table for every insert that happens:
SQL> create table my_Test1(col1 number,col2 VARCHAR2(100));
Table created.
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
  1  create sequence test1_seq
  2  start with 1
  3  increment by 1
  4  maxvalue 999999999
  5  nocycle
  6  nocache
  7* noorder
SQL> /
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
  1  create or replace package pkg1_test as
  2  procedure insert_tab1(p_val1 VARCHAR2);
  3* end;
SQL> /
Package created.
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
  1  create or replace package body pkg1_test as
  2  procedure insert_tab1(p_val1 varchar2) is
  3  begin
  4  insert into my_test1(col2) values(p_val1);
  5  COMMIT;
  6  END;
  7* end;
SQL> /
Package body created.
SQL> create trigger my_trig1 before insert on my_test1
  2  for each row
  3  declare
  4  v_seqno NUMBER := 0;
  5  BEGIN
  6  SELECT test1_seq.nextval into v_seqno from dual;
  7  :new.col1 := v_seqno;
  8  end;
  9  /
Trigger created.
SQL> exec pkg1_test.insert_tab1(100);
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select * from my_Test1;
      COL1 COL2
         1 ABCD
         2 100
SQL> select test1_seq.currval from dual;
   CURRVAL
         2
