Re: [GENERAL] The use of sequences

CREATE SEQUENCE some_sequence start 1 increment 1;

CREATE TABLE person (
id int4 default nextval('some_sequence'),
name varchar(200),
description text);

INSERT INTO person VALUES(nextval('some_sequence'),'Jeremiah','not much');

or

INSERT INTO person(name,description) VALUES('Jeremiah','not much');
