CREATE SEQUENCE
Access
Control
SQL
Syntax
The CREATE SEQUENCE statement creates a new sequence number generator
that can subsequently be used by multiple users to generate unique integers. You
use the CREATE SEQUENCE statement to define the initial value of the
sequence, define the increment value, the maximum or minimum value and
determine if the sequence “cycles.”
If Access Control is enabled for your TimesTen instance, this statement requires
DDL privileges.
CREATE SEQUENCE [Owner.]SequenceName
[INCREMENT BY IncrementValue]
[MINVALUE MinimumValue]
[MAXVALUE MaximumValue]]
[CYCLE]
Parameters The CREATE SEQUENCE statement has the parameters:
SEQUENCE
[Owner.]SequenceName
Name of the sequence number generator
IncrementValue The incremental value between consecutive numbers. This value can
be either a positive or negative integer. It cannot be 0. If the value is
positive, it is an ascending sequence. If the value is negative, it is
descending. The default value is 1. In a descending sequence, the
range starts from MAXVALUE to MINVALUE, and vice versa for
ascending sequence.
MINVALUE The starting value for an ascending sequence. The default minimum
value is 1.
MAXVALUE The largest possible value for an ascending sequence, or the starting
value for a descending sequence. The default maximum value is
(2 63 ) -1, which is the maximum of BIGINT.
