Unfortunately, the app that I'm using doesn't yet support schemas -
otherwise I'd be doing that. I have 3 instances of the application
(each for a different business unit) and I don't want them generating
the same numbers for different things. I want the numbers, across all
business units, to be truly chronological - so I'd like them to share
the same sequence.
