Hey great post!

Couldn’t you simplify even further by doing the following and eliminating the PL/SQL:

UPDATE cms_store_locations
SET store_id = store_seq.nextval;

You need to create the sequence object first. I have enclosed the sample SQL here:
CREATE SEQUENCE STORE_SEQ
START WITH 1
MAXVALUE 999999999
MINVALUE 0
NOCYCLE
CACHE 20
ORDER;
