Well, you were right, TopLink does use table-based generation, but now
I do not understand why both table-based generation and sequence-based
generation alter something called "sequence" in the database... I can
see that sequence in Oracle's object browser, but there is a table
called "SEQUENCE" as well, I am confused :/
Or maybe this is only in Oracle, that table-based identity generation
(whatever does "table-based" means) use sequence anyway...
