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.

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.

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.

TIA
