Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-3557:
----------------------------------------
I thought about that a bit these last times. I did not find any clear strategy.
Even in Postgres this is not a trivial case (see "Can There Be "Gaps" In The
Values Generated By A Sequence" section at
http://www.neilconway.org/docs/sequences/).
> Enforced sequence does not work with concurrent access

> There is a fundamental issue with enforced sequences (for orders, invoices,
> etc ..) and concurrency.
> For example if two users are creating an order at the same time one of them
> will see the creation fail with a PK error. The problem is that the
> "getNextXXXId" rely on the party accounting preference entity, but there is
> absolutely no guarantee that the last number in the sequence gets updated
> before another service can read it.
> This is at best very annoying when used only internally but may be
> unpractical for e-commerce sites.
