    I am curious to know how many developpers will use default value for "START WITH". In most cases will be a negative number.

    They will all be negative, except for tinyint.

    In most cases this shouldn't be a problem, unless you are using the sequence for generating surrogate keys and you have tied special meaning to some of them.

    For example: 0 equals unknown, -1 equals not applicable.
