`RENAME TO` only changes the name of the sequence; it cannot move the sequence to a different database or schema. To change a sequence's schema, use `ALTER SEQUENCE ... SET SCHEMA` instead.
`CYCLE`/`NO CYCLE` | The sequence will wrap around when the sequence value reaches the maximum or minimum value. `CYCLE` is not implemented. If `NO CYCLE` is set, the sequence will not wrap.
`OWNED BY column_name` | Associates the sequence to a particular column. If that column or its parent table is dropped, the sequence will also be dropped.
Specifying an owner column with `OWNED BY` replaces any existing owner column on the sequence. To remove existing column ownership on the sequence and make the column free-standing, specify `OWNED BY NONE`.
**Default:** `NONE`
`CACHE` | The number of sequence values to cache in memory at the [node]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/architecture/overview.md %}#node) level. All sessions on the node share the same cache, which can be concurrently accessed, and which reduces the chance of creating large gaps between generated IDs. A cache size of `1` means that there is no cache, and cache sizes of less than `1` are not valid.
**Default:** `1` (sequences are not cached by default). While this parameter caches sequences per node, to cache sequence values per session, use [`PER SESSION CACHE`](#per-session-cache) explicitly.
