Could you start using negative numbers in your column, or would that
throw all your applications out of whack?
E.g. alter sequence ... minvalue -999999 ;

We have a sequence that is about to reach it's maximum value (999999).
Ordinarly, I would just expand the column and let it keep going, but it
populates a business column.  They don't care what the value is, as long
as
it's unique and no longer than 6 digits.  Of course, like many sequence
populated columns, it's not consecutive.
