Hi all, so is there a way to change the minimum value for an AR-  
created sequence? They start with 10000 by default, but for some  
tables (ones that hold static definitions in our app), we’d like them  
to start at 1 or 10 or something.

Is there a way to do this? We’re using Oracle on Linux.

Thanks,  
Nate
