ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART statement does not conform to SQL standard
-----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CORE-4349
                 URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-4349
             Project: Firebird Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Engine
    Affects Versions: 2.5.2 Update 1
            Reporter: Lukas Eder
            Priority: Minor


When I'm running these statements:

create sequence s_author_id
alter sequence s_author_id restart with 1
select next value for s_author_id from "RDB$DATABASE"

I'd expect to get 1 as a result for the last query. However, I get 2. While 
this matches what is documented in the manual...
http://www.firebirdsql.org/refdocs/langrefupd20-alter-seq.html

... I do believe that this is wrong. Instead, 1 should really be the next 
value. This observation matches the behaviour of these databases:

- DB2
- H2
- HSQLDB
- Ingres
- PostgreSQL
- SQL Server
- Sybase SQL Anywhere
