Re: sequences and cursors

What tool are you using? HAve you considered putting select from the sequence in an explicit cursor, open it, fetch it and close it again? What Have in mind is something like this:

declare
cursor csr is
select sai.nextval from dual;
num integer :=0;
ind integer :=10;
begin
while (ind>=0) loop
open csr;
fetch csr into num;
close csr;
dbms_output.put_line('Sai is:'||num);
ind:=ind-1;
end loop;
end;
/

Here is the output:

QL> /

Sai is:13
Sai is:14
Sai is:15
Sai is:16
Sai is:17
Sai is:18
Sai is:19
Sai is:20
Sai is:21
Sai is:22
Sai is:23
