Sometimes the app is not the right level for solving the problem. I do try to avoid things like this, but sometimes they are the best solution.
Why would you choose this route rather than selecting from your db's sequence generator from WO (assuming your db has sequences)? I mean, if you're doing db-specific things anyway?

I think the goal is to avoid gaps in the sequence. Gappy solutions are a dime a dozen. ;-) That is more easily done at the end of a transaction at the database level. I _think_ an After Insert trigger should avoid sequence gaps.
