RE: Sequences in transaction

Sequences are not supposed to be undoable. A number in the sequence must
"never" turn up twice. Just because you didn't commit the transaction
selecting a new number from the sequence doesn't mean you didn't use it for
something else.

The point being to always getting a unique number, not using every number in
the sequence. You would have to create your own table for that, remembering
"holes" of unused numbers in the sequence for later usage.

Subject: [GENERAL] Sequences in transaction

Hi,

Help me please to understand such a thing:
Rollback of sequences doesn't work in transaction.
Is it right? Or may be there is another way to restore
it's value?

Thanks ,
