Suran Jayathilaka updated DERBY-712:
------------------------------------
Attachment: catalogs_b.patch
Thanks Rick for the detailed suggestions on rectifications in the previous
patch. Far from being discouraged, the amount of learning and insight I receive
is invaluable.
I attempted to cover most of them in this revised patch. Please review and
comment.
> 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
> Fix For: 10.6.0.0
>
> Attachments: catalogs_a.patch, catalogs_b.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.
