Abstract: A method and computer program product are provided for implementing highly concurrent record insertion in an ordinal number dependent database. Serialized processing is provided with one concurrent task of multiple concurrent tasks allowed to execute, for allocation of ordinal numbers for record insertion. Concurrent validation processing operations of multiple concurrent tasks are enabled for record insertion in the ordinal number dependent database. A set of counter variables are maintained with the database to enable removal of serialization from the validation phase processing operations for record insertion in the ordinal number dependent database.
