Abstract
A method and system is provided for distributing and reusing object identifiers in a distributed database system. A first table of object identifiers created by the database is maintained for supplying unallocated object identifiers for each type. A second table of object identifiers is also maintained containing reusable and distributable object identifiers to one or more application server in the database system. The application server obtains a predetermined number of object identifiers from the first and second tables to be stored in each of the application servers for servicing client applications related to the application server.
