A sequence is an alternative to create for example the Primary Key on every record in your tables.

So this is the common syntax I'm using actually

```
CREATE TABLE users(
  id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
  name VARCHAR(100) UNIQUE NOT NULL
);

```

As you can see the common solution I implemented is the `PRIMARY KEY` clausule

But is RDBMS such as Oracle or PostgreSQL is possible to use sequences for replacing the previous code

For example in Oracle you declare

```
CREATE SEQUENCE id
START WITH 1
INCREMENT BY 1;

```

Or in PostgreSQL in this way

```
CREATE SEQUENCE id
START WITH 1
INCREMENT BY 1;

```

**But this is possible in mariaDB Server?**
