The example of

select id1 = nextval(somesequence)

could work for me. I have multiple users with our GUI and imagine I could use transaction protection to ensure no duplicates between selecting and incrementing the somesequence...

You won't have duplicates[1], it's a sequence. It's its purpose.

Now I may have missed something, I didn't follow this thread.

[1] Unless you manage to make it wrap around after 2^32 (or 2^64?) calls of nextval. But that's quite unlikely.
