Chris already explained why twice :

"you MUST lock on insert to get gapless sequences"
Not me :-). The OP must do it. So, what problem here? Deadlocks?
Again, if deadlocks are so dangerous, why the LOCK command exists?


Can't you just :
-create the records with a regular sequence, that will have gaps
-when you want to export, number an additional column from 1 to 10 000
and use that as key
?
I don't use any locks explicitly :-)
