If you *really* want quaranteed method, then you will need to use UL
locks.
Session #1 acquires UL in X mode (sequence_name as id1).
Increments sequence values
commit/rollback to release UL lock
Session #2 will wait for UL lock if tries at the same time. If available,
will proceed to increment sequences.
Essentially, serializing on UL locks. This can have detrimental
performance issues depending upon frequency and duration of these lock
requests. Oracle applications has some part of critical code protected by UL
type locks.
With combination of ORDERED sequences and UL locking in *every* part of the
code that accesses this sequence, you will have a guaranteed method: No gaps
and strict ordering at a block of values.

Thanks Mark.
But how would you do it if the range is unpredictable?
Also ...It will vary so I can not even predict a range. It may be 2 or 50
values.
It looks though, my options 2e...
1- rely on sequences to get the starting value.
2- have java code increment up to the range determined and insert
accordingly .
3- One remaining issue is that for this transaction, I may have multiple
java threads doing the work. So I want thread 2 to start incrementing from
where thread 1 ended. Am looking for some way I can have thses threads work
in sync picking up their starting values.
