Frederic,
You could (a) do the work inside a transaction,
or (b) do the insert after you have retrieved
the key and verified it doesn't exist in the table.
I.e. get the nextval from the sequence first and then
do the insert.
P.S. If a record was inserted with a
used key, wouldn't you want to skip that
sequence value anyway?
