I noticed a couple of odd syntax issues today as I set up an SQL script.
1) The following does not work:
ALTER SEQUENCE somesequence OWNER TO xyz;
Instead you have to use:
ALTER TABLE somesequence OWNER TO xyz;
But if you drop a sequence the syntax is:
DROP SEQUENCE somesquence;
Is there a reason ALTER SEQUENCE could not have been used instead of ALTER TABLE?
2) I also noticed I cannot create a sequence targeting a particular tablespace. Example:
CREATE SEQUENCE somesequence
INCREMENT 1
MINVALUE 1
MAXVALUE 9223372036854775807
START 1
CACHE 1
TABLESPACE xyz;
Why is this? I thought that when you created a sequence you were in a sense creating a special predefined table in the background.
