Or I think you can query the dictionary
SELECT last_number
INTO <your_variable>
FROM user_sequences
WHERE sequence_name = UPPER(<your_sequence>)
I don't know why it's necessary to use nextval, but they state this in the
documentation.

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
E.
