New Features In MySQL 6.x

I’ve been editing a task description in our worklog: WL#827. It has to do with CREATE SEQUENCE, ALTER SEQUENCE, and using “sequence generators” to get the next number in a sequence. After the editing, I was able to set the private flag to ‘NO’, so now you can see the specification here: http://forge.mysql.com/worklog/task.php?id=827.

As always, one can “vote” on a worklog task that’s in forge.mysql.com, or comment on the corresponding feature request in bugs.mysql.com. I wouldn’t hold out much hope for this one, though. It’s been around since 2003, and we’ve always deemed that it’s higher priority to make minor changes to our auto_increment facility.
