Others responded before we could. They said they weren’t the least bit

счетчике, который расположен внутри базы данных Firebird. Вы можете создать его, задав имя: CREATE GENERATOR GenTest; Затем вы можете получать его текущее значение, увеличивать его или уменьшать точно так СУБД Firebird 2 и более поздних версиях ключевое слово SEQUENCE может быть использован как синоним GENERATOR. Фактически, рекомендуется использовать синтаксис SEQUENCE во вновь создаваемом коде. Хотя слово не наделает бед.) Структура системной таблицы RDB$GENERATORS следующая: • RDB$GENERATOR_NAME CHAR(31) • RDB$GENERATOR_ID SMALLINT • RDB$SYSTEM_FLAG SMALLINT И для СУБД Firebird 2.0 и более старших
