When comparing sequences, ANY difference triggers the program to indicate a difference. In reality, when it comes to sequences, the START WITH value changes with use. If two environments are being compared and one is used for different testing, or even as a production environment, the START WITH value will likely be different. This doesn’t mean the sequences are different and, in fact, can lead to serious problems for objects that rely on the next value in the sequence being unique. There should be a way to ignore the START WITH value when comparing sequences.
