Does something like this work? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41584968/skip-certain-number-in-mysql-auto-increment It looks like you can make a trigger on insert if your seq2 was used when inserting new records. The trigger could handle skipping over values that are in seq1. You could have requirements making that the best solution but I'm curious why you wouldn't want to use a GUID instead. If these things just need distinct values that never intersect, a GUID would suffice. Do you need integers that are easy for people to read or copy?
