1. Changes to sequence.c

   bill.allie@mug.org — 1998-03-02T06:16:24Z

   I encountered a problem (bug? feature?) where "select currval('sequence')" 
   will generate an error if "select nextval('sequence')" is not executed first.  
   The attached patch will change this behaviour by reading the sequence tuple 
   and returning the last_value attribute if nextval has not been called on the 
   sequence yet.
   
   The patched code appears to work as intended and did not have any effect on 
   the output of the regression test.

   This is feature :)
   1. This is what Oracle does.
   2. currval () is described as returning value returned by
      last nextval() in _session_.
