1. CREATE SEQUENCE: This SQL statement is used to create a new sequence.
2. MY_FIRST_SEQ: This is the name given to the sequence.
3. START WITH 5: It sets the initial value of the sequence to 5.
4. INCREMENT BY -3: The sequence increments or, in this case, decrements by -3 for
each new value generated.
, 5. MINVALUE 0: This sets the lower bound for the sequence, ensuring it never goes
below 0.
6. MAXVALUE 5: This sets the upper bound for the sequence, ensuring it does not
exceed 5.
7. NOCYCLE: This option prevents the sequence from cycling, meaning it will stop
once it reaches the maximum or minimum value and not wrap around to the
start value.
With these settings, the sequence will generate the following values: 5, 2, -1, 0. Since
the minimum value is set to 0 and the sequence does not cycle, it will stop at 0 and
not continue further.
1.2
SELECT my_first_seq.NEXTVAL
FROM DUAL;
Explanation: Caused by the sequence running out of values to issue, as the minimum value of 0 was
reached and the CYCLE option is set to NOCYCLE.
