Re: Insert into with nowait?

Not a lock error is the problem, a primariy index error could happens.

E.g. The primary key of one table is generated via a function (select count(*) from Table) so that you get the next number. But if two do that at the same time you may get an index error (very late/slowly). I cannot use sequences because I cannot accept wholes in the series.

Kind regards
