Great, thanks for the info.

Wow, that's verbose. I suppose it's still worth supporting, but you've
got to wonder how the committee every arrived at that syntax...
Since it seems the SQL 200x stuff has the same semantics as the
sequences we already have, I think this patch is still suitable for
application (I'll fix some more of the syntax stuff later, I'll
definately have time before 7.4) -- Bruce, can you add this back to
the queue for 7.4?
Cheers,
Neil
