Description:
Sequences like they are supported in Oracle or PostgreSQL would be a nice feature.

Currently, this has to be simulated by a separate user table holding a counter and using select for update and a subsequent update.

I think that it would be trivial to support this feature out of the box in MySql. A minimal function set would be sufficient, which includes currval and nextval, for example.

Best Regards,
Balazs

How to repeat:
n.a.

Suggested fix:
Use an internal table to store the sequence values and properties.
Translate sequence related SQL commands to normal SQL commands operating on this table. Transactions are necessary for this, I think.

Yes, it would be really nice.
Please, add this feature as soon as possible :))))
Thx!

This would be awesome. I have had to hack this up a couple of times.

I would vote for this feature. I am currently working on a ADF Essentials based project, where MySQL is a data back end. This feature would help a lot as we currently doing workaround.
