-----------------------------------------
Hi Rick!
Thank you for your prompt reply. This is verily a delightful opportunity for me.
I have started working on the catalogs as you suggested, and will submit a
proposal for GSoC when the accepting of proposals commences. I will definitely
seek guidance from you and the community should I run into any problem.
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: 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.
