Actually 2147483647 using the default sequence start value of 1 and
going up to 2^31 - 1, the largest positive value a 32-bit integer
can hold. You could get the full 32-bit range (4294967296) by
allowing negative numbers and setting the sequence's MINVALUE and
RESTART value to -2^31 (-2147483648).
