What if you really need to? One approach is to call NEXTVAL as many times to shift the sequence, so that it starts with your START WITH number (<SW>). A better one is to change INCREMENT BY to a certain value instead, then do NEXTVAL and revert INCREMENT BY. For example, suppose you currently have an increment = <I>, your current sequence value is <C>.Victor Zakharovoraclesql/posts/2009-10-06-powershell-query-oracle-database/Tue, 06 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0000neolisk@gmail.com (Victor Zakharov)Tue, 13 Oct 2020 15:08:19 -0400/posts/2009-10-06-powershell-query-oracle-database/You might have already googled other pages to help you on this. You even probably have found some PowerShell function like the one below: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 function OracleQuery($Instance,$User,$Password,$Query) { $private:tmp = [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Data.OracleClient") $private:con = "Data Source=$instance;User Id=$user;Password=$password" $private:ad = New-Object System.Data.OracleClient.OracleDataAdapter($query,$con) $private:ds = New-Object System.Data.DataSet $private:tmp = $ad.Fill($ds) return $ds.Tables[0] } Still something makes this one different.
