The DbSequence handle is the handle used to manipulate a sequence object. A sequence object is stored in a record in a database.

DbSequence handles are free-threaded if the DB_THREAD flag is specified to the DbSequence::open() method when the sequence is opened. Once the DbSequence::close() or DbSequence::remove() methods are called, the handle can not be accessed again, regardless of the method's return.

Each handle opened on a sequence may maintain a separate cache of values which are returned to the application using the DbSequence::get() method either singly or in groups depending on its delta parameter.

Calling the DbSequence::close() or DbSequence::remove() methods discards this handle.
