The other method being discussed effectively uses a physical table to
implement this behavior.

I Have the same problem: one ID must be unique.
Three tables inherits from the same parent table the id column, the ID is is defined as:
id bigint DEFAULT nextval('sequence_name')
in the parent table.

Can I assume that a sequence ensures uniqueness?

And... I did some search on Google but can't figure "table-less unique indexes that multiple tables can share" where can I find further information regarding this thing?

thank you
