ORACLE SEQUENCE跳号总结

 

    在ORACLE数据库中，序列（SEQUENCE）是使用非常频繁的一个数据库对象，但是有时候会遇到序列（SEQUECNE）跳号(skip sequence numbers)的情形，那么在哪些情形下会遇到跳号呢？

 

 

事务回滚引起的跳号

 

 

不管序列有没有CACHE、事务回滚这种情况下，都会引起序列的跳号。如下实验所示：

 

SQL> create sequence my_sequence

  2  start with 1

  3  increment by 1

  4  maxvalue 99999

  5  nocache;

Sequence created.

SQL>  create table test(id number(10), name varchar2(32));

Table created.

SQL> insert into test

  2  select my_sequence.nextval , 'kerry' from dual;

1 row created.

SQL> 

SQL> rollback;

Rollback complete.

SQL> select my_sequence.nextval from dual;

   NEXTVAL

----------

         3

SQL> 

 

 

并发访问序列引起的跳号

 

 

并发访问序列引起的跳号，其实不算真正的跳号，而只是逻辑跳号，只是序列值被其它并发会话使用了。我们来构造一起并发访问序列引起的跳号，我们开启两个会话窗口，循环获取序列的值，模拟并发出现的场景。

 

会话窗口A：

 

exec dbms_lock.sleep(2); --延迟2秒执行，根据你实验情况调整

/

begin

    for i in 1 .. 2000 loop

        dbms_output.put_line(my_sequence.nextval);

    end loop;

end;

/

 

会话窗口B：

 

spool test.txt;

begin

    waitfor delay '00:00:10';

    for i in 1 .. 2000 loop

        dbms_output.put_line(my_sequence.nextval);

    end loop;

end;

/

spool off; 

 

如下所示，我构造的实验当中，你会看到序列的跳号情况。

 

 

 

 

 

FLUSH SHARED_POOL会导致CACHE的序列跳号

 

 

实验测试如下所示（序列的CACHE值必须大于0），当然正常情况下，很难遇到这种情况。

 

SQL> select test.my_sequence.nextval from dual;

   NEXTVAL

----------

     17004

SQL> alter sequence test.my_sequence cache 40;

Sequence altered.

SQL> select test.my_sequence.nextval from dual;

   NEXTVAL

----------

     17005

SQL> alter system flush share_pool;

alter system flush share_pool

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-02000: missing SHARED_POOL/BUFFER_CACHE/GLOBAL CONTEXT keyword

SQL> alter system flush shared_pool;

System altered.

SQL> select test.my_sequence.nextval from dual;

   NEXTVAL

----------

     17045

 

 

 

 

数据库实例异常关闭导致跳号

 

 

如下实验所示，当数据库使用shutdown abort命令关闭后，重新启动实例，序列缓存在shared pool里面没有用过的值都没有了。一下子从17045跳到17085

 

SQL> select test.my_sequence.currval from dual;

   CURRVAL

----------

     17045

SQL> select object_id from dba_objects where object_name=upper('my_sequence');

 OBJECT_ID

----------

     97760

SQL> select increment$, minvalue, maxvalue,highwater, cache

  2  from seq$ where obj#=97760;

INCREMENT$   MINVALUE   MAXVALUE  HIGHWATER      CACHE

---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------

         1          1      99999      17085         40

SQL> shutdown abort;

ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup;

ORA-32004: obsolete or deprecated parameter(s) specified for RDBMS instance

ORACLE instance started.

SQL> select test.my_sequence.currval from dual;

select test.my_sequence.currval from dual

            *

ORA-08002: sequence MY_SEQUENCE.CURRVAL is not yet defined in this session

SQL> select test.my_sequence.nextval from dual;

   NEXTVAL

----------

     17085

SQL> 

 

 

另外，我们也来看看正常关闭数据库的情况下，序列会不会出现跳号，我们采用10046跟踪事件，看看正常数据库关闭情况下，会对序列做一些啥操作

 

 

SQL> select test.my_sequence.nextval from dual;

   NEXTVAL

----------

     17085

SQL> alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 4';

Session altered.

SQL> shutdown immediate;

Database closed.

Database dismounted.

ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup

Trace文件中有更新seq$数据字典表，如果你看过我这篇文章ORACLE中seq$表更新频繁的分析，基本上就知道其实seq$中维护的是序列的一些信息。通过跟踪文件，我们知道在数据库正常关闭的情况下,会触发一个update seq$的操作,把当前的sequence.nextval的值更新到seq$.highwater中,从而使得sequence在有cache的情况下，数据库正常关闭未出现nextval跳跃(currval也同样不跳跃)；而在数据库异常关闭之时，数据库不能及时将sequence.nextval更新到eq$.highwater从而引起sequence cache中的值丢失，从而可能出现了sequence使用cache导致跳跃的情况

mealink上提到了使用dbms_shared_pool.keep将对象在锁定在shared pool 中，永远不释放。这样可以防止FLUSH SHARED POOL导致序列跳号，但是这个无法避免数据库异常关闭或CRASH引起的跳号

 

SQL> select test.my_sequence.currval from dual;

   CURRVAL

----------

     17086

SQL> exec dbms_shared_pool.keep('test.my_sequence','q');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> alter system flush shared_pool;

System altered.

SQL> select test.my_sequence.currval from dual;

   CURRVAL

----------

     17086

SQL> shutdown abort

SQL> startup

其实如果业务允许，单号出现跳号也无所谓的情形最好，如果碰到业务要求绝对不能出现单号出现跳号的情况，那么就不能使用序列号了，就必须使用其它替代方案，此处不做展开说明！
