This is the same solution I was thinking of, and probably the best one.
I checked that currently the application only loops an average of 4
times, so I don't have a real urgency of switching to sequences. I will
implement this code in two weeks from now, since I should have enough
time.

Thanks again,
Giuseppe

P.S. Just a note, I will not specify "NO CYCLE" since it seems to be the
default behaviour and since it seems oracle uses "NOCYCLE" in one word.
