+/**
+ * {@link org.springframework.jdbc.support.incrementer.DataFieldMaxValueIncrementer} that increments 
+ * the maximum value of a given Sybase SQL Anywhere table
+ * with the equivalent of an auto-increment column. Note: If you use this class, your table key
+ * column should <i>NOT</i> be defined as an IDENTITY column, as the sequence table does the job.
+ *
+ * <p>This class is intended to be used with Sybase Anywhere.
+ *
+ * <p>The sequence is kept in a table. There should be one sequence table per
+ * table that needs an auto-generated key.
+ *
+ * <p>Example:
+ *
+ * <pre class="code"> create table tab (id int not null primary key, text varchar(100))
+ * create table tab_sequence (id bigint identity)
+ * insert into tab_sequence values(DEFAULT)</pre>
+ *
+ * If "cacheSize" is set, the intermediate values are served without querying the
+ * database. If the server or your application is stopped or crashes or a transaction
+ * is rolled back, the unused values will never be served. The maximum hole size in
+ * numbering is consequently the value of cacheSize.
+ *
+ * <b>HINT:</b>  Since Sybase Anywhere supports the JDBC 3.0 <code>getGeneratedKeys</code> method,
+ * it is recommended to use IDENTITY columns directly in the tables and then using a
+ * {@link org.springframework.jdbc.core.simple.SimpleJdbcInsert} or utilizing
+ * a {@link org.springframework.jdbc.support.KeyHolder} when calling the with the
+ * <code>update(PreparedStatementCreator psc, KeyHolder generatedKeyHolder)</code>
+ * method of the {@link org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate}.
+ *
+ * <p>Thanks to Tarald Saxi Stormark for the suggestion!
