Yes, that's what I'm going to have to do. I was just hoping there was a shorter way out than writing dynamic sql. Thanks

Lisa,
When I have had need to do this I just dropped the sequence and recreated it with the 'start with' value I required.

I thought I saw someone refer to doing this yesterday on the list. I swear I thought it was possible to alter a sequence to reset the nextval to a number you choose, ex., set it back to 1. Turns out the documentation doesn't state you can, and it errors out. Am I missing something? I am writing a procedure to drop and recreate the sequence instead.
