How to make a unique ID and auto increment it on form submission.

Question: 

I need to generate a unique ID number for a form submission, auto incremented. At first it didn't seem to be that difficult, but reading various stuff on the net tells me perhaps it's more complicated than I thought. See my post (dejamuse) and links to other articles and posts, here:

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hi,

When I read unique number... I immediately think about the "sequences" table. But I have not looked into this further.
