遇到过好多问题关于如何在ORACLE 中创建类似SQLSERVER或ACCESS中自增长字段。答案多是先建立一个Sequence,然后在Trigger中将Sequence的NEXTVAL的取值赋予所需要的列。看上去还不错。
但是一切真的那么顺利吗?Sequence 真的可以做到提供一序列连续没有遗漏的序列数值吗?
不妨作个实验:
SQL> create sequence test_seq start with 1;
Sequence created.
SQL> create table test_tab ( x int) ;
Table created.
SQL> insert into test_tab values (test_seq.nextval) ;
1 row created.
SQL> insert into test_tab values (test_seq.nextval) ;
1 row created.
SQL> insert into test_tab values (test_seq.nextval) ;
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from test_tab ;
X
----------
1
2
3
SQL> conn / as sysdba;
Connected.
SQL> alter system flush shared_pool ;
System altered.
SQL> conn user1/user1
Connected.
SQL> insert into test_tab values (test_seq.nextval) ;
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from test_tab ;
X
----------
1

21
从试验中可以看出,在缺省情况下,我们建立的是带有Cache选项的Sequence (缺省值是20), 它的作用是预先将一定数量的序列值存放在SGA中,便于快速访问。可是它的副作用就是这部分数值可能会被清除, 当下一次获取NEXTVAL时,就会不可避免地造成序列值丢失。
总结一下,在以下情况下,序列值会丢失:
1. 数据库关闭或重起 ,由于整个SGA会被清除,所以Cached的序列值同样会被清除。
2. 类似于普通的Data Block ,当SGA中需要放置新的数据,Cached的序列值可能会按照SGA的数据存放规则被清除。
读到这里,细心的读者也许会问,如果在创建Sequence时,有意不选用Cache选项,问题不就解决了吗?且慢,还有两点需要注意:
1. 访问效率降低,没有Cache功能的Sequence取值将无法直接访问内存
2. 不论是Nocache还是Cache , 每次访问NEXTVAL的过程都是不可逆的,在同一session中,在执行一系列DML和Sequence的操作后,用户执行Rollback,希望将操作回滚,但是Sequence此时就显得异常顽固,用掉的NEXTVAL将无法被重现。当下一次试图读取NEXTVAL时,Sequence的指针又移动到下一位了。
看来Oracle真是一个海洋,每个细小的知识点都是那么饶有趣味,值得我们去努力专研啊。
