What documentation are you referring to? Oracle PK generator JavaDoc
for instance explains the difference between Oracle terms and Cayenne:
http://www.objectstyle.org/cayenne/api/cayenne/org/objectstyle/cayenne/
dba/oracle/OraclePkGenerator.html
If you have something else in mind, you are free to write and submit
these docs. I would've said "send a patch", but with current state of
affairs with anonymous CVS this is rather hard. Still you can do a
local diff against "virgin" nightly build.

The whole point of having cache size in Cayenne is that it is > 1. This
is all about performance, e.g.:
