Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-712:
--------------------------------
Attachment: SequenceGenerator.html
Attaching the first rev of a functional spec for sequence generators. This spec
describes changes needed to create, invoke, and drop sequence generators. This
spec does not address the incremental work needed to:
1) alter an existing sequence generator
2) wire sequence generators into the Statement.getGeneratedKeys() logic
> Support for sequences

> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: SQL
> Environment: feature request

> Would like to see support added for sequences. This would permit a select
> against the sequence to always obtain a ever increasing/decreasing value.
> The identity column works fine but there are times for applications where the
> application needs to obtain the sequence number and use it prior to the
> database write. Subsequent calls to the table/column would result in a new
> number on each call.
> SQL such as the following:
> SELECT NEXT VALUE FOR sequence_name FROM sometable ; would result in a next
> value.
