Sorry  to nit-pick Thomas, Firebird used to call them generators, but 
changed to the SQL standard naming convention of Sequences some time 
back. For now, however, the old name remains as a synonym for sequences.

Same  problems remain though, a rollback will lose a sequence value and 
you cannot guarantee no gaps.


Cheers,
Norm.
