Sequence Properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a sequence property sheet, double-click its Browser entry in the Sequences folder or its line in the List of Sequences. The following sections detail the property sheet tabs that contain the properties most commonly entered for sequences.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property

Description

Name

Specifies the name of the item, which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users

Code

Specifies the technical name of the object, which is used for generating code or scripts, which may be abbreviated, and should not generally include spaces

Comment

Specifies a descriptive label for the sequence

Stereotype

Sub-classification used to extend the semantics of an object without changing its structure; it can be predefined or user-defined

Owner

Specifies the name of sequence owner. You choose an owner from a list of users. A column can only have one owner at a time. This is normally the column creator

The following tabs are also available:


  • Physical Options - lists the physical options associated with the sequence (see Physical Options). For information about these options, see your DBMS documentation.
