Hi, After the last telecon (that I attended) I had a look at various DBMS for their handing of SEQUENCEs and schema spaces.
If I remember correctly, the question in the telecon was to see which DBMS support schema names for sequences. I am a bit unclear now how this relates to the ticket, anyway, here is what I found: Postgres, Oracle and SQL Server allow creating sequences with optional schema name: [schema_name.]sequence_name MariaDB and DB2 do not appear to support schema names for sequences. MySQL ans SQLite do not appear to support named sequences. Some Object DBMS (such as ObjectDB) support named sequences via JPA (@GeneratedValue/@SequenceGenerator). As I understand, there is no way to create/use sequences without attaching them to a Java field (=column in a table), so they are implicitly bound to a table/schema. No-SQL databases such as MongoDB, CouchDB or Cassandra do not really support sequences as such, ie they clearly discourage their use even if suported. Also, DataNucleus: http://www.datanucleus.org/products/datanucleus/jdo/mapping.html#valuegen_sequence There seems to be no standard naming convention, except that the schema name, if present, is separated by a '.' from from the sequence name. Ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-712 Kind regards, Til
