The constant is only there for your convenience.
Feel free to rename it to ACTSQNO_PK_COLUMN or ACTSQ_NUMBER_PK_COLUMN or
delete it.
You'll just have to remember to make that change each time you regenerate
your class.
If you open a Cayenne JIRA issue, we'll eventually fix the template
generator so that # isn't included as part of the variable name.
A fix will happen sooner if you provide a patch to fix it :) -- I seem to
recall that there's a function that filters out illegal characters, so it
should be pretty simple to fix.
