Operations 6

Each operation below carries the questions people ask an LLM about it and the instructions they give an agent to run it. Generated by API Evangelist overlay

GET /api/v2/databases/{database}/schemas/{schema}/sequences List sequences in a schema · List sequences #
Ask an LLM
“Which sequences are defined in this schema?”
“Can I list every number sequence under a database and schema?”
Tell an agent
List the sequences in schema {schema} of database {database}.
Show me all sequences defined here.
POST /api/v2/databases/{database}/schemas/{schema}/sequences Create a sequence · Create a sequence #
Ask an LLM
“How do I create a sequence that starts at a specific number?”
“Can I set the increment step when defining a new sequence?”
Tell an agent
Create a sequence named {name} in {database}.{schema}.
Create sequence {name} starting at {start} and incrementing by {increment}.
GET /api/v2/databases/{database}/schemas/{schema}/sequences/{name} Get the details of a sequence · Fetch a sequence #
Ask an LLM
“What start value and increment does a particular sequence use?”
“Where can I read one sequence's definition?”
Tell an agent
Show me the details of sequence {name} in {database}.{schema}.
Fetch the sequence's start and increment settings.
DELETE /api/v2/databases/{database}/schemas/{schema}/sequences/{name} Drop a sequence · Delete a sequence #
Ask an LLM
“How do I drop a sequence I no longer need?”
“Can a sequence be deleted through the API?”
Tell an agent destructive · confirm first
Drop sequence {name} from {database}.{schema}.
Delete the sequence permanently.
POST /api/v2/databases/{database}/schemas/{schema}/sequences/{name}:clone Clone a sequence · Create a new sequence by cloning from the specified resource #
Ask an LLM
“Can I copy an existing sequence into another schema?”
“How do I clone a sequence under a new name?”
Tell an agent
Clone sequence {source} in {database}.{schema} as {name}.
Clone the sequence into {target_database}.{target_schema} named {name}.
POST /api/v2/databases/{database}/schemas/{schema}/sequences/{name}:rename Rename or move a sequence · Rename a sequence with a new identifier #
Ask an LLM
“Can I rename a sequence without recreating it?”
“Is it possible to move a sequence to a different schema?”
Tell an agent
Rename sequence {name} in {database}.{schema} to {new_name}.
Move the sequence to {target_database}.{target_schema} as {new_name}.
