Thanks for your responses, Not completly sure why it was skipping on a nextval then an immediate currval select yesterday, but I got with the PHP programmer and re-worked the calling program and today it is working like expected.
Thanks again. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/14/02 07:53AM >>> There is nothing wrong in what you are doing. It might be that there are lots of requests for story_transaction_seq.NEXTVAL and by the time you reach the next line it gets incremented by 1 again(unlikely, but possible). I suggest you test it when you are sure that there will be no request for the value from the sequence by any other session. Naveen -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 4:04 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L hello all, I have a pl/sql procedure that selects the nextval from a sequence. The problem is that it incrrements the sequence by 2 in a pl/sql procedure. If I select the nextval from a sqlplus session, it works fine. here is partial code that I am using. PROCEDURE NEWTRANSACTION (v_storyid IN story.story_id%type, v_transid OUT story_transaction.trans_id%type ) IS BEGIN select story_transaction_seq.nextval into v_transid from dual; ..... END for debugging purposes, I made that code look like... PROCEDURE NEWTRANSACTION (v_storyid IN story.story_id%type, v_transid OUT story_transaction.trans_id%type ) IS v_value1 NUMBER; --debug code v_value2 NUMBER; --debug code BEGIN select story_transaction_seq.currval into v_value1 from dual; --debug code select story_transaction_seq.nextval into v_transid from dual; select story_transaction_seq.currval into v_value2 from dual; --debug code ..... END when I ran this, v_value1 had a 200, v_transid had a 201, and v_value2 had a 202 taking the debug code out and hitting that procedure with a web page will increment the v_transid by 2 each refresh of the page. am i doing something wrong? I can't find any information on the web related to this issue.
