Suran Jayathilaka updated DERBY-712:
------------------------------------
Attachment: catalogs_a.patch
Attaching initial patch (ctalogsa.patch) for the SYSSEQUENCES and SYSPERMS
catalogs. Made from svn diff against the updated trunk code. I'm certain there
will be quite a few shortcomings in this patch and am eagerly awaiting your
feedback. So please review and comment.
Thanks!

> Support for sequences
> ---------------------

> Key: DERBY-712
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-712
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: SQL
> Environment: feature request
> Reporter: Tony Dahbura
> Assignee: Suran Jayathilaka
> Attachments: catalogs_a.patch, SequenceGenerator.html
>
>
> 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.
