A sequence can be defined as any integer data type. If the data type is not specified, a sequence defaults to bigint. The application requires sharing a single series of numbers between multiple tables or multiple columns within a table. The application must restart the number series when a specified number is reached. For example, after assigning values 1 through 10, the application starts assigning values 1 through 10 again.
The application requires sequence values to be sorted by another field. An application requires multiple numbers to be assigned at the same time. For example, an application needs to reserve five sequential numbers. Requesting identity values could result in gaps in the series if other processes were simultaneously issued numbers.
Unlike identity columns, whose values cannot be changed, sequence values are not automatically protected after insertion into the table. To prevent sequence values from being changed, use an update trigger on the table to roll back changes.
Uniqueness is not automatically enforced for sequence values. The ability to reuse sequence values is by design. If sequence values in a table are required to be unique, create a unique index on the column. If sequence values in a table are required to be unique throughout a group of tables, create triggers to prevent duplicates caused by update statements or sequence number cycling.
The sequence object generates numbers according to its definition, but the sequence object does not control how the numbers are used. Sequence numbers inserted into a table can have gaps when a transaction is rolled back, when a sequence object is shared by multiple tables, or when sequence numbers are allocated without using them in tables.
When created with the CACHE option, an unexpected shutdown, such as a power failure, can lose the sequence numbers in the cache. This behavior is consistent with the ANSI standard. Sequence numbers are generated outside the scope of the current transaction. They are consumed whether the transaction using the sequence number is committed or rolled back.
I am wiser now. Cleared all my doubts, and now I can finish my assignment. Thank You! Hi, Thanks for the post. I was wondering that in stop and wait the sequence number is one bit. Does this mean that out of 32 bit we only use one bit and rest 31 bits are useless. And we toggle this one bit sequence number from 0 to 1 and vice versa. If this is not true where does this one bit sequence number fits in the protocol itself. Does the server send OK only after sending all bits of the huge file requested by client?
What are the odds! By googling my questions, I ended up with reading two of your excellent articles. Thanks so much. Have you been looking for a better way to model your network infrastructure? Check out what we're doing with NetBox!
Open source and widely extensible, NetBox has enabled thousands of organizations to automate their networks like never before possible. The Three-Way Handshake TCP utilizes a number of flags, or 1-bit boolean fields, in its header to control the state of a connection. Sequence and Acknowledgment Numbers The client on either side of a TCP session maintains a bit sequence number it uses to keep track of how much data it has sent. We can use this flow graph to better understand how sequence and acknowledgement numbers work.
Packet 1 Each side of a TCP session starts out with a relative sequence number of zero. Packet 2 The server responds to the client with a sequence number of zero, as this is its first packet in this TCP session, and a relative acknowledgement number of 1.
Packet 3 Like in packet 2, the client responds to the server's sequence number of zero with an acknowledgement number of 1. Packet 4 This is the first packet in the stream which carries an actual payload specifically, the client's HTTP request. Note that this packet's payload is bytes in length. Packet 5 This packet is sent by the server solely to acknowledge the data sent by the client in packet 4 while upper layers process the HTTP request.
Packet 7 The sequence number of the client has been increased to because of the last packet it sent. Tear-down Packet 38 After acknowledging the last segment of data from the server, the client processes the HTTP response as a whole and decides no further communication is needed. Packet 39 The server acknowledges the client's desire to terminate the connection by increasing the acknowledgement number by one similar to what was done in packet 2 to acknowledge the SYN flag and setting the FIN flag as well.
Packet 40 The client sends its final sequence number of , and acknowledges the server's FIN packet by incrementing the acknowledgement number by 1 to Posted in Packet Analysis. Support PacketLife by buying stuff you don't need! Cd-MaN June 7, at a. Mimo June 7, at p. Hi Jeremy, Great article.
So to me this sentence doesn't make much sense: "Notice that the acknowledgment number has been increased by 1 although no payload data has yet been sent by the client. Though the meaning is same. PS: Thank you for the demo of ability of wireshark. I still don't know much abt this tool.

Really nice post with a very clear explanation. Thanks for posting such an nice article. Jesper Gustafsson December 18, at p. Oh good lord this helped me! If two users concurrently increment the same sequence, then the sequence numbers each user acquires may have gaps, because sequence numbers are being generated by the other user. One user can never acquire the sequence number generated by another user.
After a sequence value is generated by one user, that user can continue to access that value regardless of whether the sequence is incremented by another user.
Sequence numbers are generated independently of tables, so the same sequence can be used for one or for multiple tables. It is possible that individual sequence numbers will appear to be skipped, because they were generated and used in a transaction that ultimately rolled back.
Additionally, a single user may not realize that other users are drawing from the same sequence. Specify the schema to contain the sequence. If you omit schema , then Oracle Database creates the sequence in your own schema. If you specify none of the following clauses, then you create an ascending sequence that starts with 1 and increases by 1 with no upper limit. Any attempt to generate a sequence number once the sequence has reached its limit results in an error.
This integer value can be any positive or negative integer, but it cannot be 0. This value can have 28 or fewer digits.
