Hi SkiBunny,

After Thomas's comment I thought I'd trawl the code and see if I can learn a
bit more.

The "give-away" to me is when you said that

1. The sequences now have "weird" names like
SYSTEM_SEQUENCE_6E91F1ED_C242_48BE_887E_4465FA83FAC6
2. That sequences usually have names like SYSTEM_SEQUENCE_1

>From what I can tell from the code, names like SYSTEM_SEQUENCE_1 haven't
been used since early March 2007, so (just to repeat what Thomas said
really!) I think you're not "usually" using 1.1.118 at all -- it's 1.1.118
that's generating the "weird" names.

Also, the fact that you said your system is 3 years old also suggests that
you're actually running a pre-March 2007 version of H2.
