Most systems for no holes use an array of available numbers. Once you
commit that number is no longer in the array, otherwise it stays in
and is available for use.

can only be provided by a queuing machanism. I think a timestamp with
milliseconds would do this in 99.99% of all cases. just an idea.
have fun playing around with this.
just my 2 cent.

hmm, I would have a look at the primary keys.
those are ensured by EOF and the DB to be unique, so any number

derived from the primarykey (you might e.g. transform an

into a pure number key) should meet your criteria.
No. Primary keys are not guaranteed to be in sequence without
"holes". You may use a stored procedure or something like that to
increment a counter - beware of rollbacks.
If there is no requirement for a real sequence without holes, pk may
work. Or, depending on the database, any mechanism that can be used
for integer pk generation.
