Does MySQL 5.4 have Sequences?

No. However, MySQL has an AUTO_INCREMENT system, which in MySQL 5.4 can also handle inserts in a multi-master replication setup. With the auto_increment_increment and auto_increment_offset system variables, you can set each server to generate auto-increment values that don’t conflict with other servers. The auto_increment_increment value should be greater than the number of servers, and each server should have a unique offset.
