dba_sequences.last_number:
无cache时,取一次nextval,last_number递增一次
有cache时, 若在cache之内的取一次nextval,last_number不变
           若在cache之外的取一次nextval, last_number=last_number+cache值


dba_sequences.last_number未必是该sequence的下一个值,这其中一个原因是该sequence有cache

若是该sequence没有cache,那么dba_sequences.last_number是该sequence的下一个值
