RE: shared database sequence.

I normally prefer solution with large numbers  

seq on database 1
start with 1000000 max 1999999  

seq on database 2
start with 2000000 max 2999999  

and if you are about to hit the max number simply add one more digit and recreate sequences  

seq on database 1
start with 10000000 max 19999999  

seq on database 2
start with 20000000 max 29999999  

You can also easily add extra sequences this way. Easy to use if 1 will be used less often and 2 will be used more often. Thx,

Subject: shared database sequence.

Hello List,  

Is it possible to share a database sequence between multiple databases? Not in RAC of course.
We are planning to have two databses exchanging information (replicating) using third party solution. But, stuck with the issues of sequences.  

Thanks
