先描述问题的具体现象,然后产出问题实质,最后总结一下这个很垃圾的问题.

如果刚刚打开一个会话 ,例如用PL/SQL developer打开一个command窗口

执行一个
SQL> create sequence seq_test_id start with 1;

Sequence created

SQL> select seq_test_id.currval from dual;

select seq_test_id.currval from dual

ORA-08002: sequence SEQ_TEST_ID.CURRVAL is not yet defined in this session

这时会告诉你 sequence SEQ_TEST_ID.CURRVAL is not yet defined in this session
显然SEQ_TEST_ID当前是存在的，而其sequence对象应该也和session无关.

如何解决这个问题 呢 ？？
只需要执行
SQL> select seq_test_id.nextval from dual;

   NEXTVAL
----------
         1

SQL> select seq_test_id.currval from dual;

   CURRVAL
----------
         1

原来在查看sequence对象的currval值的时候，必须先要调用它的nextval，实在是没道理的很把，可oracle就是如此？？
oracle乐于无端增加学习成本阿 /呵呵

只要新打开一个command的窗口，也就会有类似问题，所以记住这个特性就够啦

oracle的错误码也有官方表达

ORA-08002: sequence string.CURRVAL is not yet defined in this session
Cause: sequence CURRVAL has been selected before sequence NEXTVAL
Action: select NEXTVAL from the sequence before selecting CURRVAL
