Abstract:
A method for implementing highly concurrent record insertion in an ordinal number dependent database comprising the steps of:providing serialized processing with one concurrent task of multiple concurrent tasks allowed to execute for allocation of ordinal numbers for record insertion; andenabling concurrent validation processing of multiple concurrent tasks for record insertion in the ordinal number dependent database; including the steps of:maintaining a plurality of predefined counter variables, said predefined counter variable including a tentative insert force count variable with ordinal numbers less than or equal to said tentative insert force count variable being valid, inserted records; a total record count with ordinal numbers greater than said total record count being invalid; and an insert force count representing an ordinal number of a last record forced, said insert force count being greater than or equal to said tentative insert force count variable and being less than or equal to said total record count.
