Thread: Sequence docs
Any chance the sequence docs could be updated to indicate sequence bounds (int4)? http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?sql-createsequence.html Perhaps note that int8 is coming? How do user notes make it into the documentation proper. -AZ

At the moment they don't. Afaik no one is taking those notes and folding
them into the docs where appropriate. It would be great if someone (or
several people) want to do that, and it would be a nice project for
anyone wanting to start contributing to PostgreSQL.

I was under the impression Bruce had already started (if not finished) that. After 7.2 is released and the final docs are imported the current docnotes are going to be cleared and therefore no longer available.

I made a pass a week or two ago to incorporate notes where appropriate.
I did not go through the JDBC or ODBC sections, however, not feeling
competent to work on the documentation for those.

It'd be real nice if someone could look through the JDBC and/or ODBC notes
and submit documentation patches before 7.2 goes final.

Done for 7.2, see http://candle.pha.pa.us/main/writings/pgsql/sgml/sql-createsequence.html http://candle.pha.pa.us/main/writings/pgsql/sgml/functions-sequence.html regards, tom lane

Though it would take a while, what happens if you get the the max sequence number? It can't roll over... are you just SOL? (Just for some numbers, to get to 2b, it would be ~1000/sec for only 25 days) - Brandon ----------------------------------------------------------------------------c: 646-456-5455 h: 201-798-4983b. palmer, bpalmer@crimelabs.net pgp:crimelabs.net/bpalmer.pgp5

If you didn't say CYCLE, nextval() starts giving errors.

Excellent. Thanks!

Docs have been updated to address the JDBC related notes. Actually most were already addressed by previous doc cleanups. thanks, --Barry Tom Lane wrote: > Thomas Lockhart <lockhart@fourpalms.org> writes: > >>>How do user notes make it into the documentation proper. >>> > >>At the moment they don't.
