Check the mailing list archives for lengthy discussions on int8
sequences. Once you've found it's mostly people complaining without
volunteering to do anything go over to http://techdocs.postgresql.org/
and look at Roberto Mello's plpgsql cookbook and the int8 page in my
postgresql notes - I summarised anything useful I saw about it. The
first example I give is probably fine for just generating unique id's.
