Hi All,
I am using hibernate 3 , oracle 10g. I have a table: subject. The definition is here
Code:
CREATE TABLE SUBJECT
(
SUBJECT_ID NUMBER (10),
FNAME VARCHAR2(30) not null,
LNAME VARCHAR2(30) not null,
EMAILADR VARCHAR2 (40),
BIRTHDT DATE not null,
constraint pk_sub primary key(subject_id) USING INDEX TABLESPACE data_index
)
;
when insert a new subject, sub_seq is used to create an subject id, the definition is here
Code:
create sequence sub_seq
MINVALUE 1
MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999
START WITH 1
INCREMENT BY 1
CACHE 100
NOCYCLE ;
the Subject class is like this:
Code:
@Entity
@Table(name="ktbs.syn_subject")
public class Subject {
@Id
@Column(name="subject_id")
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator="SUB_SEQ")
@SequenceGenerator(name="SUB_SEQ", sequenceName = "SUB_SEQ")
private long subjectId;
private String fname;
private String lname;
private String emailadr;
private Date birthdt;
}
in the subject table , there have been 4555 subjects in the database loaded by plsql scripts from excel and the sub_sequence worked fine. subject ids range from 1--4555.
however, when i added a subject from my application using hibernate,
the sequence number jumped to 255050. After several days running, the subject ids generated by hibernate look like this

There are several large gaps: 4555 to 255051, 255067 to 260051, 265057 to 270051
this is a waste and not a desired behavior.
does anyone know why this happens and hot to fix it
Thanks
