What is a Sequence Generator Transformation?


Ans. A Sequence Generator transformation is a Passive and Connected transformation that generates numeric values. It is used to create unique primary key values, replace missing primary keys, or cycle through a sequential range of numbers. This transformation by default contains ONLY Two OUTPUT ports namely CURRVAL and NEXTVAL. We cannot edit or delete these ports neither we cannot add ports to this unique transformation. We can create approximately two billion unique numeric values with the widest range from 1 to 2147483647.
