Sequence Creation Example

Sequence Creation Example

You create the following mapping that uses a Sequence Generator transformation to generate primary keys for a relational target:
In this mapping, a Source Qualifier transformation and a Sequence Generator transformation connect to an Expression transformation.
When the Integration Service pushes transformation logic to the database, it executes the following SQL statement to create the sequence object in the source database: 
CREATE SEQUENCE PM_S6UHW42OGXTY7NICHYIOSRMC5XQ START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 MINVALUE 0 MAXVALUE 9223372036854775807 NOCYCLE CACHE 9223372036854775807
After the Integration Service creates the sequence object, the Integration Service executes the SQL query to process the transformation logic contained in the mapping: 
INSERT INTO STORE_SALES(PRIMARYKEY, QUARTER, SALES, STORE_ID) SELECT CAST(PM_S6UHW42OGXTY7NICHYIOSRMC5XQ.NEXTVAL AS FLOAT), CAST(CAST(SALES_BYSTOREQUARTER_SRC.QUARTER AS FLOAT) AS VARCHAR2(10)), CAST(CAST(SALES_BYSTOREQUARTER_SRC.SALES AS NUMBER(10, 2)) AS NUMBER(25, 2)), CAST(SALES_BYSTOREQUARTER_SRC.STORE_ID AS NUMBER(0, 0)) FROM SALES_BYSTOREQUARTER_SRC
After the session completes, the Integration Service drops the sequence object from the database. If the session fails, the Integration Service drops and recreates the sequence object before performing recovery tasks.
