I found this in the SQL2003 draft:

The exact properties of a sequence. It would be a good idea to be able to provide
all these the same way PostgreSQL provides CREATE SEQUENCE.


I think nobody would object to implementing support for the SQL2003 syntax. Most of that would be providing all the values that will get forwarded into the internal sequence generation during CREATE TABLE.

The other thing needed is an extension to the default value mechanism that overrides any given value to implement GENERATE ALLWAYS. Not too hard either.


Where can I find this syntax? (PDF file name, page#) Thanks.
I think I modify my feature request for the standard behaviour.

Thanks and best regards,
