NO CACHE in Sequence

Hi all,

Why would any one use NO CACHE option in Sequences.

Probably to minimize the possibility of having "sequence gaps", for example in cases of shutdown abort or flushing the shared pool.

Less probably to somewhat preserve space in shared pool (library cache) - that is perhaps more of a theoretical than a real life excuse.

In any case, you would use NO CACHE only on sequences that are fairly seldom in use, not on those that are under constant pressure.

First reason - what Juriy wrote - flash shared pool
Second reason, and I saw that in practice :
when u do SHUTDOWN ABORT or u server crash then u loose
all sequence values in cache.
