gap in sequence numbers

Hi,
Please consider the following query.
The reftable inner query generates a table with 11 elements, 7 of them
having the groupkey 1, and the 4 others the groupkey 2. This set is then
grouped by the groupkey field, and after that a generate_series and a
sequence are used to create an ordered id.

My question is : why do the ids created by the sequence include a gap of
1 between the two groups ?
ie, why the id 5 is not present in the result set ?

I know I already ran into this kind of problem, and solved it by using
nextval outside of the query, but i'd like to understand the real reason
of this behaviour.


create sequence temp_seq2 start with 1;

select
    nextval('temp_seq2') as id,
    groupkey,
    generate_series(1, groupnb) as rang
from (
    select
        groupkey
        , count(*) as groupnb
    from (
        select
            id
            , case
                when id <= 7 then 1
                else 2
            end as groupkey
        from
            generate_series(1, 11) as id
    ) as reftable
    group by
        groupkey
) as foo;

drop sequence if exists temp_seq2;

Thanks for your help,
Vincent
