A problem with generators is that you can't be certain that
they're going to be sequential. If a transactions gets a
generator value then fails to commit the record it stored -
or fails to store the record - the number is lost and you've
got a gap. There are several less efficient ways of generating
unique sequential numbers. Basically, they all require that
you serialize your inserts - one must be committed before the
next is stored.
