Explain What is an Oracle sequence?

Answer:

A sequence is a database object created by a user that can be used to generate unique integers. A typical usage of sequences is to generate primary key values which are unique for each row.
It is generated and incremented (or decremented) by an internal Oracle routine. It can be used by multiple users and for multiple tables too. A sequence can be used instead of writing an application code for sequence-generating routine.
