    Question

    How can I use a specified number as the value in Start with parameter for CREATE SEQUENCE.
    My Code :
    DECLARE
    My_session Number(5);
    BEGIN
    SELECT MAX(SessionID) INTO My_session FROM My_user;
    END;
    Then I used the next lines :

    DROP SEQUENCE Myaw_SessionID;
    CREATE SEQUENCE Myaw_SessionID
    INCREMENT BY 1
    START WITH &My_session
    NOMAXVALUE
    NOCYCLE
    CACHE 20;

    But it didn't work properly. Because i must manually insert the START WITH's Value.
    Who knows, how can i automated it. THANKS A LOT

    Ampersand in SQL*PLus is used for substitution variable, and outside of PL/SQL block the variable my_session does not exist.

    In 8i use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to drop and recreate the sequence.

    DECLARE
    My_session Number(5);
    BEGIN
    SELECT MAX(SessionID) INTO My_session FROM My_user;
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP SEQUENCE Myaw_SessionID';
    EXECUTE IMEMDIATE 'CREATE SEQUENCE Myaw_SessionID START WITH '||to_char(my_session);
    END;
