Hi all,

my Oracle sequence stats memory was sadly lacking, which a weeks leave has 
revived.

My Oracle training notes tell me that a sequence is good up to 10^27. This 
means that the example below is good for not 100 years but - wait for it - 
100 thousand billion years ! (roughly)

I had recalled 2^27 rather than 10^27. Thanks to those that corrected me ( 
offline ), but why not question this on-line, is this not what a discussion 
gruop is all about ?

One other point, the comment below '( admittedly as yet unsupported )' 
should have read '( admittedly as yet unreproducable )'.

P.S. mailman, can you tell me why this is not getting through to 
powerh-l@lists.sowder.com ?

Bri,
