Deletes the sequence having the specified name from the database.
Return Values
| Value | Symbolic Constant | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | NO_ERROR | Successfully created the sequence. |
| 900 | SEQDUP_ERR | A sequence having the specified name already exists. |
| 903 | SEQTYP_ERR | The specified sequence type contains an invalid combination of sequence type options. |
| 904 | SEQINI_ERR | The initial value specified for the sequence is out of range. |
| 905 | SEQCUR_ERR | The current value specified for the sequence is out of range. |
| 906 | SEQLIM_ERR | The limit value specified for the sequence is out of range. |
| 907 | SEQINC_ERR | The increment value specified for the sequence is out of range. |
| 101 | INOT_ERR | No sequence exists that has the specified name. |

Example

** Create an incrementing sequence that starts with 1, increments by 3, and
** terminates with 100.
*/

seqattr.seqinc = 3;
seqattr.seqlim = 100;

if ((rc = ctCreateSequence(&seqattr))) {
printf("Error: Failed to create the sequence: %d\n", rc);
} else {
