Multiple rows with the same key renders Hibernate useless as it caches
the 'row object' and then returns the first row every time for that
object.
I think the sequence will work though, in reflection I guess it would
as fast as pulling another field, and with the numbers would be a very
long time before getting duplicates - even if you had thousands of
users, returning 100s of rows every few minutes (I think...).
