Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: global sequence as unique identifier across multiple databases
Paula
This has been asked before on this list Is it possible to share a database sequence between multiple databases?. Mark Powell suggested use of SYS_GUID as an alternative to sequence ranges, or intercalated sequences as just suggested by Glints. I blogged here http://preferisco.blogspot.com/2007/02/unique-ids-for-multi-master-replication.html that sadly SYS_GUID (in my test at least - OracleXE on a laptop, YMMV) is quite a bit slower than selecting from a sequence.
