Note !
In case of multi access, you must create sequences with unique name
per user or client PC, and must make each user or each PC use an
allocated sequence, respectively. In addition, each user or each PC
mustn't execute more than two queries at one time.

Probably, It doesn't increase evenly if there happen to be multi access
to a sequence.
