Hi, everyone! 
I have a table:
create table testpr(id serial,priority integer,unique(priority) DEFERRABLE, 
primary key(id));
and a trigger which, when added to this table, automatically sets priority as 
the maximum value +1
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION PriorityCheck() RETURNS trigger AS $$
BEGIN
    NEW.priority := (SELECT coalesce(max(priority),0)+1 from testpr);
    RETURN NEW;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE TRIGGER InsertTrigger BEFORE INSERT on testpr for EACH ROW 
EXECUTE PROCEDURE PriorityCheck();
Will the priority be serial, when there is multithreaded addition of values to 
the table? 
Which is: 
Thread 1  insert into testpr(priority) values (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), 
(1);
Thread 2  insert into testpr(priority) values (2), (2), (2), (2), (2), (2), 
(2);
The result (priority):
Thread 1: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7)
Thread 2: (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14)
