How to create an auto-increment sequence in db2?

In DB2, you can create an auto-increment sequence using the following syntax.

Generate a sequence with the specified parameters: starting value, increment value, minimum value, maximum value, cycle option, cache size, and order setting.

In this case, sequence_name is the name of the auto-increment sequence, start_value is the initial value of the sequence, increment_value is the value added to the sequence, min_value is the minimum value of the sequence, max_value is the maximum value of the sequence, CYCLE|NOCYCLE specifies whether the sequence should cycle when reaching the maximum or minimum value, cache_size specifies the number of sequence values cached, and ORDER|NOORDER specifies whether the sequence should return values in the order they were created.

For example, create an auto-increment sequence named my_sequence, starting at 1, increasing by 1 each time, with a minimum value of 1 and a maximum value of 100, non-cycling, with a cache size of 20. The statement to return values in the order of creation would be as follows:

Create a sequence named my_sequence that starts at 1, increases by 1, with a minimum value of 1, a maximum value of 100, does not cycle, caches 20 values, and follows the specified order.
