Fix “The requested range for sequence object ‘…’ exceeds the maximum or minimum limit. Retry with a smaller range.” (Error 11732) in SQL Server

If you’re getting an error that reads something like “The requested range for sequence object ‘Sequence1’ exceeds the maximum or minimum limit. Retry with a smaller range.” in SQL Server, it’s probably because you’re trying to return a value that’s outside the range of the sequence object.

This can happen when you’re using the sp_sequence_get_range stored procedure to return a range from a sequence object that exceeds the minimum or maximum value for that sequence object, and the sequence object does not have CYCLE defined. It’s a similar error to error 11728, which can happen when using NEXT VALUE FOR to generate a new value from a sequence.
