Bug reference:      16430
Logged by:          Valentinas
Email address:      val.janeiko@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 12.2
Operating system:   Alpine (container)
Description:       

When using Sequence inside a plpgsql function called using SELECT func()
using Npgsql library a sequence is incremented by the value specified in
CACHE.


That is a perfectly valid outcome per the meaning and documented usage of cache in the server.
 
Additionally if CACHE is set to > 80000 (e.g. 100000) the query always
returns 0.

Interesting...probably worth looking into even if a cache value that large doesn’t make much sense usually.  Doing and posting some tests using just sql and psql would be a good start in isolating where the discrepancy lies.
