I was wondering if the increment generator is thread-safe? From searching through the archives I was unclear whether or not it is now thread-safe. One post from 2007 mentioned there was a fix for this, but I wasn't sure if that was accurate or not. The documentation says to not use this in clusters, but it doesn't say explicitly that it isn't thread-safe.

If the increment generator is not thread-safe, is there a generator that is? I want to avoid using the native generator, because it appears that this is being called millions of times and hitting the database, and I would rather have an in-memory incrementer. Clustering is not a concern for me.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I would say that it is :-)
