How can I create a Sequence where my START WITH value comes from a query?
I'm trying this way:
CREATE SEQUENCE "Seq" INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH (SELECT MAX("ID") FROM "Table");
But, I get the ORA-01722 error
366
Following is the sequence query creating sequence in ascending order. Example 1: CREATE SEQUENCE sequence_1 start with 1 increment by 1 minvalue 0 maxvalue 100 cycle; Above query will create a sequence named sequence_1.
The syntax to create a sequence in SQL Server (Transact-SQL) is: CREATE SEQUENCE [schema.] sequence_name [ AS datatype ] [ START WITH value ] [ INCREMENT BY value ] [ MINVALUE value | NO MINVALUE ] [ MAXVALUE value | NO MAXVALUE ] [ CYCLE | NO CYCLE ] [ CACHE value | NO CACHE ]; AS datatype.
The syntax to create a sequence in Oracle is: CREATE SEQUENCE sequence_name MINVALUE value MAXVALUE value START WITH value INCREMENT BY value CACHE value; sequence_name. The name of the sequence that you wish to create.
To create a sequence in another user's schema, you must have the CREATE ANY SEQUENCE system privilege. Specify the schema to contain the sequence. If you omit schema , then Oracle Database creates the sequence in your own schema. Specify the name of the sequence to be created.
The START WITH CLAUSE accepts an integer. You can form the "Create sequence " statement dynamically and then execute it using execute immediate to achieve this.
declare
l_new_seq INTEGER;
begin
select max(id) + 1
into l_new_seq
from test_table;
execute immediate 'Create sequence test_seq_2
start with ' || l_new_seq ||
' increment by 1';
end;
