CYCLE means it goes back to the start, so B is right.

I thought it would return 0, but I guess not!

Wait, does it really cycle back to 1 after reaching 10?

Definitely going with option B, that's the first value.

The sequence starts at 1 by default.

I’m a bit confused about the CACHE option. Does it affect the first value? I might lean towards C, but I’m not certain.

I practiced a similar question, and I believe the first value returned is always 1. So, I would go with B.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about sequences cycling back to the start. Could it be D?

I think the sequence starts at 1, so maybe the answer is B.

I've got this one! The CYCLE option means the sequence will reset to 1 after reaching the maximum value, so the correct answer is C - 10.

I'm a little confused by the CYCLE option. Does that mean the sequence will just keep going indefinitely, or will it reset to 1 after reaching some maximum value? I'll have to double-check the documentation on that.

Okay, let me break this down step-by-step. The sequence is defined to cache 10 values, and it's set to cycle. So the first 10 calls to nextval() should return 1 through 10, and then it should start over at 1.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about how the CACHE and CYCLE options work in this context. I'll need to think it through carefully.

This question is a real sequence-buster! I'm tempted to say E) -10, just to see the look on the examiner's face.

I'm going to go with A) 0. Why not? Sequences can be a bit unpredictable sometimes, so 0 seems like a good answer to throw off the competition.

Hmm, this is tricky. I'm leaning towards C) 10, because the CACHE 10 parameter means the sequence will pre-allocate 10 values at a time.

I agree with C) 10, the CACHE parameter does pre-allocate values.

My guess is D) 11. Since the sequence is set to CYCLE, it will start over from the beginning once it reaches the maximum value, so the next call should return 11.

I think the correct answer is B) 1. The CACHE 10 parameter means that the sequence will pre-allocate 10 values, so the first call to nextval() should return 1.
