That won't happen because of isolation :). When InsertX increments the
sequence, it is forever incremented, so when InsertY increments it gets
the next value... e.g;
CREATE TABLE foo(id serial);
Transaction 1:
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO foo(id) VALUES (DEFAULT);
id now == 1
Transaction 2:
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO foo(id) VALUES (DEFAULT);
id now == 2
Transaction 1;
COMMIT;
Transaction 2;
COMMIT;
Even if Transaction 1 were to rollback, it has already incremented the
sequence so the next transaction would get 3.
