I've run into another curiosity regarding SQL sequences that I can't understand.

If I run an alter sequence statement and restart the sequence at a new value, the system table QSYS2/SYSSEQUENCES doesn't reflect the new start value.

If I retrieve a new value from the sequence however, I get the correct results based on the new start value.

I'm not using commitment control.
