PLS-00357: Table, view or sequence reference not allowed in this context
What it means
A table or sequence was used in a PL/SQL expression outside SQL (before 11g: seq.NEXTVAL directly in PL/SQL).
How to fix it
Use it inside a SQL statement (SELECT seq.NEXTVAL INTO ...) or upgrade syntax (11g+ allows v := seq.NEXTVAL).
