If you have a good tool such as Quest, you should be able to look at all the different objects in your DB, including all sequences defined for a particular DB. Quest is some $$$. WinSQL may also give this info and there is a free version.

You need something like

sql Code:

Original - sql Code
select * from syscat.sequences;

SELECT *
FROM syscat.sequences;

(introduction to the system catalog views here )

Yes, knowledge is always best, I agree. For someone in a pinch, tools work. their assignment is tomorrow to memorize the catalog structure, which may change in Version Next. I <*think*> I read somewhere that for DB2 (or another RDBMS?) that there some vendor-supplied Stored procedures you'd want to call , thus hiding catalog changes from version N -1 at any point in time. Have you seen this?

I have always used something like select * from sysibm.syscolumns for grabbing catalog stuff for tables, fetch first N rows and then refine it from there when spelunking into the DB.
