# Native Sequencing With an Oracle Database Platform

Previous

Next

TopLink support for native sequencing with Oracle databases is similar to table sequencing (see "Table Sequencing"), except that TopLink does not maintain a table in the database. Instead, the database contains a sequence object that stores the current maximum number and preallocation size for sequenced objects. The sequence name configured at the descriptor level identifies the sequence object responsible for providing sequencing values for the descriptor's reference class.

You can configure native sequencing using TopLink Workbenchor Java. Oracle recommends that you use TopLink Workbench. For more information about configuring table sequencing, see "Configuring Sequencing at the Project Level" or "Configuring Sequencing at the Session Level".
