I haven't really paid attention to which DBMS's do what.  I just know that 
it works.  I'm out of town, so can't research it for you further at this 
time.

Ah.  I'm not sure what in the docs gave you that impression, but I do 
realize that there is nothing in the docs clearly indicating exactly how 
it DOES work.  Before I left, I updated the warning text in the notes 
section of the intro.  See the new text at
http://www.appelsiini.net/~tuupola/php/peardoc2/package.database.db.intro-sequences.html
Also put a link to it on all of the sequence methods's pages.

I'll try to further clarify how things work when I get back.
