Claim:
A computer-implemented method including executing, using at least one processor, instructions recorded on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the method comprising: receiving a request to insert, in a main database table, a versioned database object having a first identifier (ID) and including a plurality of attributes; determining whether uniqueness of a first subset of the plurality of attributes of the versioned database object having the first ID as compared to analogous attributes included in other versioned database objects in the main database table having different IDs than the first ID is required; and based on determining that uniqueness of the first subset of attributes is required, evaluating uniqueness of the first subset of attributes of the versioned database object with the first ID as compared to the analogous attributes of the other versioned database objects based on respective records for the other versioned database objects stored in a secondary database table, wherein the secondary database table includes a plurality of records for versioned database objects, each record associated with a respective record count indicative of a number of records of the versioned database object included in the main database.
