CREATE SEQUENCE .. MAXVALUE

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

When using the CYCLE clause, it may be useful to specify a different MAXVALUE than the default of the sequence data type's maximum representable value:

// The MAXVALUE before which the sequence should cycle if applicable
create.createSequence("sequence").maxvalue(1000).execute();
create.createSequence("sequence").noMaxvalue().execute();
