Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> 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.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
Does anyone know why Oracle forces you to use NEXTVAL before doing CURRVAL. I would think sometimes you would want to use CURRVAL without incrementing sequence first.
Thanks

You can use another pseducolumn CURRVAL but you must use at least once per session the NEXTVAL before using the CURRVAL or else you would get the ORA-08002 error.
...
SELECT <your_sequence>.CURRVAL INTO <your_variable> FROM dual;

Hi
when writing a program PROC <sequenceName>.NEXTVAL points to the next value of a sequence, is there anything like <sequenceName>.SOMETHING that returns current value of sequence.
Thanks
