<p>
A partial implementation of the sequence API defined in the SQL
2003 specification has been added to the SQL layer. A sequence is
created using the syntax:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">SELECT create_sequence("sequence_name"...) </pre>
<p>
The sequence numbers are accessed using
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">SELECT nextval("sequence_name") </pre>
<p>
and
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">SELECT currval("sequence_name")</pre>
<p>
Finally, a sequence can be dropped using
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">SELECT drop_sequence("sequence_name")</pre>

The four new functions, which have to be called as part of a
<code class="literal">SELECT</code> statement, are describe in more
detail in <a href="../bdb-sql/sequencesupport.html" class="olink">Using Sequences</a> in the
<em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB Getting Started with the SQL APIs</em> guide.
