Hamid,

Here is one way:

SQL> select myseq.currval from dual;

   CURRVAL

---

         4

SQL> alter sequence myseq nocache;

Sequence altered.

SQL> alter sequence myseq maxvalue 4 cycle;

Sequence altered.

SQL> select myseq.nextval from dual;

   NEXTVAL

---

         1

SQL> REM ---> Other alter sequence commands to change maxvalue, cache, nocycle etc.                

Now, you get to do the tricky part of automating it ;) Because, I have not attempted to do it, yet.

HTH,

• Kirti
