I am trying to view Sequences in certain schemas on an Oracle database. I have many tabs (Tables, Triggers, Functions, Procedures) in the Object explorer but do not have a Sequence tab. I do know when I had Toad for Oracle this was available. Can someone please help me on where I need to go in Toad Data Point to get this view back?

I am sorry, we do not display sequences in the database browser of Toad Data Point. This usually is used by developers or DBAs and TDP is focused on Analysts.

I agree this is an important feature for a Data Analyst to know. Often sequences are used to auto-generate keys or other data fields. This seems like important information to understand during data analysis.
