- This section describes <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>'s functions
- for operating on <firstterm>sequence objects</firstterm>.
- Sequence objects (also called sequence generators or
- just sequences) are special single-row tables created with
- <command>CREATE SEQUENCE</command>. A sequence object is usually used to
- generate unique identifiers for rows of a table. The sequence functions,
- listed in <xref linkend="functions-sequence-table">,
- provide simple, multiuser-safe methods for obtaining successive
- sequence values from sequence objects.
