+ <p>
+ Sequences provide an arbitrary number of persistent objects that return an
+ increasing or decreasing sequence of integers. Opening a sequence handle associates
+ it with a record in a database. The handle can maintain a cache of values from the
+ database so that a database update is not needed as the application allocates a
+ value.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A sequence is stored as a record pair in a database. The database may be of any
+ type, but must not have been configured to support duplicate data items. The sequence
+ is referenced by the key used when the sequence is created, therefore the key must
+ be compatible with the underlying access method. If the database stores fixed-length
+ records, the record size must be at least 64 bytes long.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ You create a sequence using the
+ <a class="xref" href="seqcreate.html" title="db_sequence_create">db_sequence_create</a> method.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For more information on sequences, see the
+ <em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB Programmer's Reference Guide</em> guide.
