You mean someone already inserted a (project, user, sequence) tuple and you need it? So the problem of calculating the last sequence for a given ( p, u ) combination has been solved by the inserting web form and you just need to communicate the result to another process ? It seems what you need is an auxiliary log table ( serial + (P,U,S) ) which could be managed by a trigger, or made the web form do the modifications using a procedure. Anyway, a lot more detail will be needed to solve this.
