Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Having decimal values in sequence generated column

Facing a weird prod issue where we are having decimal values (XXXXX.5) as sequence generated numbers.

Also the sequence is all over the place in terms of values generated, even outside of 'cache and increment by' limits.

It is a non-RAC environment ("Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition Release 19.0.0.0.0 - Production Version 19.27.0.0.0")

SEQUENCE_OWNER SEQUENCE_NAME MIN_VALUE MAX_VALUE INCREMENT_BY CYCLE_FLAG ORDER_FLAG CACHE_SIZE LAST_NUMBER SCALE_FLAG EXTEND_FLAG SHARDED_FLAG SESSION_FLAG KEEP_VALUE

FCPPACM_DV DV_POSTING_SEQ 1 1E+28 50 N N 400 16042480351 N N N N N

Is it really possible to generate decimal values via sequence?
