sequence_object:alter()

object sequence_object
sequence_object:alter(options)

The alter() function can be used to change any of the sequence’s options. Requirements and restrictions are the same as for box.schema.sequence.create().

Options:

  • start – the STARTS WITH value. Type = integer, Default = 1.

  • min – the MINIMUM value. Type = integer, Default = 1.

  • max - the MAXIMUM value. Type = integer, Default = 9223372036854775807.

    There is a rule: min <= start <= max. For example it is illegal to say {start=0} because then the specified start value (0) would be less than the default min value (1).

    There is a rule: min <= next-value <= max. For example, if the next generated value would be 1000, but the maximum value is 999, then that would be considered “overflow”.

  • cycle – the CYCLE value. Type = bool. Default = false.

    If the sequence generator’s next value is an overflow number, it causes an error return – unless cycle == true.

    But if cycle == true, the count is started again, at the MINIMUM value or at the MAXIMUM value (not the STARTS WITH value).

  • cache – the CACHE value. Type = unsigned integer. Default = 0.

    Currently Tarantool ignores this value, it is reserved for future use.

  • step – the INCREMENT BY value. Type = integer. Default = 1.

    Ordinarily this is what is added to the previous value.
