Gapless sequences

Nik and Michael discuss the concept of gapless sequences — when you might want one, why sequences in Postgres can have gaps, and an idea or two if you do want them.And one quick clarification: changing the CACHE option in CREATE SEQUENCE can lead to even more gaps, the docs mention it explicitly. Here are some links to things they mentioned:CREATE SEQUENCE https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createsequence.htmlSequence Manipulation Functions https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-sequence.htmlOne, Two, Skip a Few (post by Pete Hamilton from Incident io) https://incident.io/blog/one-two-skip-a-fewPostgres sequences can commit out-of-order (blog post by Anthony Accomazzo / Sequin) https://blog.sequinstream.com/postgres-sequences-can-commit-out-of-orderLogical Replication of sequences (hackers thread) https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CAA4eK1LC%2BKJiAkSrpE_NwvNdidw9F2os7GERUeSxSKv71gXysQ%40mail.gmail.comSynchronization of sequences to subscriber (patch entry in commitfest) https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5111/Get or Create (episode with Haki Benita) https://postgres.fm/episodes/get-or-createGerman tank problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_tank_problem~~~What did you like or not like?
