That is sure confusing. What could a DDL saying
INTEGER n_gen SERIAL NOT NULL; INTEGER n_sheet SERIAL NOT NULL; INTEGER tot_n_sheet SERIAL NOT NULL; PRIMARY KEY
(n_gen,n_sheet, tot_n_sheet)
mean? Is this what your DDL says? Do you enter rows of this table specifying
the id and expecting the three serial generators to pick non-null sequential
numbers for the other three fields? I think you are very unclear about what
is going on here. Are you perhaps saying the table has three (distinct)
primary keys? Because if you assign them values, why would they be SERIAL?

Whatever you are doing that I do not understand with your keys, if you have
two users doing inserts on the same table, would you not have to run this
with Serializable Isolation Level (12.2.2. in the manual)? Would this not
fix your problem especially if you have a SERIAL as primary key?
