Hey all,

does anyone know if it is in any way harmful to use a lot of sequences in
a database? Does it have any disadvantages? I already noticed that
sequences are hard to use with export/import. But are there any other
disadvantages?

The company I work for uses 40 sequences in the database, but these can be
easiliy brought down to 20.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Jurgen.

I'm not aware of any scalability issues.
While a sequence does not perform any locking there are of course soem
short term latches. If you have an extreme(!) concurrent use of a
specific sequence  it that latch could, theoretically, run hot.
That woudl be a case in point not to reduce the number of sequences.
But again.. that's extreme. I doubt there is an app out there
experiencing such issues in reality.

Cheers
Serge
