Are you using automatic sequence increment in table?

  Subject: [PERFORM] Concurrency issue under very heay loads


  Hi,

  We use a typical counter within a transaction to generate order sequence 
number and update the next sequence number. This is a simple next counter - 
nothing fancy about it.  When multiple clients are concurrently accessing this 
table and updating it, under extermely heavy loads in the system (stress 
testing), we find that the same order number is being generated for multiple 
clients. Could this be a bug? Is there a workaround? Please let me know.

  Thanks
  Raji
