N.B. MySQL does have triggers in MySQL 5.0.2 and upward. A sequence can
be implemented using a table with a single AUTOINCREMENT field. Kind of
a hack, but if you /require/ Oracle-style sequence behavior, you can get it.

I totally agree that some "big boy features" seem to be missing from
MySQL. Over the years, they have played quite a good game of catch-up.
