public class DBSequence extends java.lang.Object implements NativeTypeDomainInterface, XMLDomainWriter, java.io.Serializable, KeyAttributeInterface, java.lang.Comparable
If you designated an Entity Object attribute to be of type DBSequence, the framework assumes that the attribute value will be refreshed when that Entity Object is posted to the database This implementation assumes that there is an insert-trigger on the table corresponding to the Entity Object, that populates the corresponding column value with a number when the Entity is inserted into the database.
At runtime when a new Entity instance is created, this domain automatically fills in a temporary negative value as a place-holder for the attribute that is marked to be of DBSequence type. When the new Entity is posted, this value is updated from the database.
