Class Sequence

java.lang.Object
  org.axiondb.Sequence

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class Sequence
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

A database sequence. A sequence provides a mechanism for obtaining unique integer values from the database.

Note: If increment value is negative, then the sequence generator is a descending sequence generator; otherwise, it is an ascending sequence generator.

Note: The data type of a sequence generator must be exact numeric with scale 0.
