Oracle 9 - Resetting Sequence to match the state of the table

I made this script as I did not find a script online that dynamically sets all my sequences to the current highest ID. Tested on Oracle 11.2.0.4.

DECLARE
  difference         INTEGER;
  sqlstmt            VARCHAR2(255) ;
  sqlstmt2           VARCHAR2(255) ;
  sqlstmt3           VARCHAR2(255) ;
  sequenceValue      NUMBER;
  sequencename       VARCHAR2(30) ;
  sequencelastnumber INTEGER;
  CURSOR allseq
  IS
     SELECT sequence_name, last_number FROM user_sequences ORDER BY sequence_name;
BEGIN
  DBMS_OUTPUT.enable(32000) ;
  OPEN allseq;
  LOOP
    FETCH allseq INTO sequencename, sequencelastnumber;
    EXIT
  WHEN allseq%NOTFOUND;
    sqlstmt  := 'ALTER SEQUENCE ' || sequencename || ' INCREMENT BY ';
    --Assuming: <tablename>_id is <sequencename>
    sqlstmt2 := 'select (nvl(Max(ID),0) - :1)+1 from ' || SUBSTR(sequencename, 1, LENGTH(sequencename) - 3) ;
    --DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(sqlstmt2);
    --Attention: makes use of user_sequences.last_number --> possible cache problems!
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlstmt2 INTO difference USING sequencelastnumber;
    IF difference > 0 THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ' || sqlstmt || difference) ;
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlstmt || difference;
      sqlstmt3 := 'SELECT ' || sequencename ||'.NEXTVAL from dual';
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ' || sqlstmt3 || ' INTO sequenceValue') ;
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlstmt3 INTO sequenceValue;
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ' || sqlstmt || 1) ;
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlstmt || 1;
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('') ;
    END IF;
  END LOOP;
  CLOSE allseq;
END;

In short, game it:

-- Current sequence value is 1000

ALTER SEQUENCE x INCREMENT BY -999;
Sequence altered.

SELECT X.NEXTVAL FROM DUAL;
1

ALTER SEQUENCE x INCREMENT BY 1;
Sequence altered.

You can get the max sequence value used within your table, do the math, and update the sequence accordingly.

Declare
  difference INTEGER;
  sqlstmt varchar2(255);
  sequenceValue Number;
begin
sqlstmt := 'ALTER SEQUENCE YOURSEQUENCE INCREMENT BY ';
select YOURSEQUENCE.NEXTVAL into sequenceValue from dual;
select  (nvl(Max(YOURID),0) - sequenceValue)+1 into difference from YOURTABLE;
if difference > 0 then
  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlstmt || difference;
  select  YOURSEQUENCE.NEXTVAL INTO sequenceValue from dual;
  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlstmt || 1;
end if;
end;

If ID is the name of your PK column and PK_SEQ is the name of your sequence:

1. Find the value of the highest PK by SELECT MAX(ID) FROM tableName

2. Find the value of the next PK_SEQ by SELECT PK_SEQ.NEXTVAL FROM DUAL

3. If #2 > #1 then nothing needs to be done, assuming you treat these values as true surrogate keys
4. Otherwise, alter the sequence to jump to the max ID by ALTER SEQUENCE PK_SEQ INCREMENT BY [#1 value - #2 value]

5. Bump the sequence by SELECT PK_SEQ.NEXTVAL FROM DUAL

6. Reset the sequence increment value to 1 by ALTER SEQUENCE PK_SEQ INCREMENT BY 1

This all assumes that you don't have new inserts into the table while you're doing this...
