Hi,

 

I would like to utilize Oracle sequence to get unique number within set of DI jobs running within the same flow.

 

Could you reccommend the best way to utilize it within SAS DI?

 

Basically I run:

SELECT
ORACLE_SCHEME.MY_SEQUENCE.NEXTVAL
FROM
DUAL

 

Thanks!

Best regards,

Some explicit pass-through code as below should do the job. Using DIS I'd implement this as a custom transformation for re-usability.

select put(seq_no,z16. -l) into :seq_no
from connection to ora
  (
    SELECT
       ORACLE_SCHEME.MY_SEQUENCE.NEXTVAL as seq_no
    FROM
       DUAL
  );
