Hi, Merlin. Thanks for the tip, but it doesn't work. Every variation
of this syntax I tried gives me error as, apparently, it should:
\h ALTER SEQUENCE
Command: ALTER SEQUENCE
Description: change the definition of a sequence generator
Syntax:
ALTER SEQUENCE name [ INCREMENT [ BY ] increment ]
[ MINVALUE minvalue | NO MINVALUE ] [ MAXVALUE maxvalue | NO
MAXVALUE ]
[ RESTART [ WITH ] start ] [ CACHE cache ] [ [ NO ] CYCLE ]
Thanks again!
Fernando.
