Oracle Sequence starting with 2 instead of 1

Question

Unexpected behavior:

I am encountering strange behavior of Oracle sequences with 11g (works with 10g):

CREATE SEQUENCE test_sequence         


        

Answer 1

Use:

CREATE SEQUENCE SQ_SEQUENCE_NAME
    INCREMENT BY 1
    START WITH 1
    MINVALUE 0  -- This will ensure start at 1!
    MAXVALUE 99
    NOCYCLE
    NOCACHE
    ORDER;
