Subject Generators questions

I've created a table (table1) with IDcod as pk numeric(18,0),then a generator



CREATE GENERATOR GEN_N;

SET GENERATOR GEN_N TO 1;



I've inserted 3 records for IDcod values 5,6,7.

With IBExpert Personal,in a script I put this :





SELECT gen_id(gen_N,1) FROM table1;



Result :

2 3 4

run again

5 6 7



Why generator creates such result, for each record a value generated.
Where is the value i look for ?
Wouldn't it be slow for a big database ?

Why generator creates values that can duplicate pk,or I have to use generator from the start ?

Thanks.
