This “one-off” procedure has already been used several times in the past month!
I also wanted another Tom Kyte procedure added, to reset sequence values without dropping and re-creating the sequence. We are still on 11gR2, and sometimes it is just nice, although
not necessary, to start the counter over when you are truncating a logging-type table (for example, a stand-alone table, with no relationships established to other tables).
I think I need to simply wait for the IT person who tells me to run the search code as an anonymous block to retire. Then, I will try again to get it implemented, if I do not
retire first!
