If you need secuential numbers and cannot afford either gaps or locking
and generating numbers with a pl/sql function, you can always run a
process on the affected tables and re-set the sequenced value in order
to avoid gaps.
An alternative to sequences, when you cannot afford gaps is using custom
pl/sql functions and perhaps even Oracle Queues. This would cause a
serious serialization of operations though.
