Sequences guarantee valid surrogate key values.

  • A.True
  • B.False

Answer: B

Correct answer: False

A sequence guarantees only uniqueness of the numbers it issues. Values are lost when a transaction rolls back or an instance fails, so gaps appear; nothing forces the value to be used in the intended column; and a value can be inserted directly, bypassing the sequence and colliding with it later. Uniqueness is not the same as validity.
