+# Sequences
+
+> [!NOTE]  
+> Sequences are a feature typically supported only by relational databases. If you're using a non-relational database such as Cosmos, check your database documentation on generating unique values.
+
+A sequence generates unique, sequential numeric values in the database. Sequences are not associated with a specific table, and multiple tables can be set up to draw values from the same sequence.
+
+## Basic usage
+
+You can set up a sequence in the model, and then use it to generate values for properties:
+
+[!code-csharp[Main](../../../samples/core/Modeling/FluentAPI/Sequence.cs?name=Sequence&highlight=3,7)]
+
+Note that the specific SQL used to generate a value from a sequence is database-specific; the above example works on SQL Server but will fail on other databases. Consult your specific database's documentation for more information.
+
+## Configuring sequence settings
+
+You can also configure additional aspects of the sequence, such as its schema, start value, increment, etc.:
