Hello Bp

If you use the sequence for unique identifiers only, you do not need to worry about this.
At most the numbers will go from 1234 to 11234 and continue from there. So what?

Hi List ,
I want to create a sequence which will be used by some external process to generate some unique number . since this sequence will be used very frequently I would prefer to cache around 10000 numbers . Am I going to loose some numbers ? what is SEQUENCE_CACHE_ENTRIES and how does it affect number or sequence cached ?

Thanks ,
-Bp
