Would it not be simpler instead to use explicit table lock when inserting events instead of
PositionCounter? It limits performance but I believe result is same as PositionCounter table because it too needs a row level lockSimpler? It would be less to setup vs a Position table. In usage it's adding a lock statement vs calling
NextPosition()in the insert.I suppose you will just have to test for the performance difference between the two.
