cycle=true
**cache**
Integer. The number of values to store in a cache
0
cache=0
**step**
Integer. What to add to the previous generated value, when generating a new value
step=-1
**if_not_exists**
Boolean. If this is true and a sequence with this name exists already, ignore other options and use the existing values
if_not_exists=true
Once a sequence exists, it can be altered, dropped, reset, forced to generate the next value, or associated with an index.
Associating a sequence with an index
For an initial example, we generate a sequence named 'S'.
tarantool> box.schema.sequence.create('S',{min=5, start=5})
---
- step: 1
id: 5
min: 5
cache: 0
uid: 1
max: 9223372036854775807
cycle: false
name: S
start: 5
...
The result shows that the new sequence has all default values, except for the two that were specified, ``min`` and ``start``.
Then we get the next value, with the ``next()`` function.
tarantool> box.sequence.S:next()
---
- 5
...
The result is the same as the start value. If we called ``next()`` again, we would get 6 (because the previous value plus the step value is 6), and so on.
Then we create a new table and specify that its primary key should be generated from the sequence.
tarantool> s=box.schema.space.create('T')
---
...
tarantool> s:create_index('I',{sequence='S'})
---
- parts:
- type: unsigned
is_nullable: false
fieldno: 1
sequence_id: 1
id: 0
space_id: 520
unique: true
type: TREE
sequence_fieldno: 1
name: I
...
---
...
Then we insert a tuple without specifying a value for the primary key.
tarantool> box.space.T:insert{nil,'other stuff'}
---
- [6, 'other stuff']
...
The result is a new tuple where the first field has a value of 6. This arrangement, where the system automatically generates the values for a primary key, is sometimes called "auto-incrementing" or "identity".
For syntax and implementation details, see the reference for :doc:`box.schema.sequence </reference/reference_lua/box_schema_sequence>`.
