It's a pretty silly default, but it's clearly intended for simple /
small databases. In any real database you'll be using one sequence per
generated PK. I've had no problems with this with Hibernate, and am a
bit puzzled that the OP is trying to fit their DB to Hibernate rather
than doing the trivial configuration required to get Hibernate to fit
the DB.
The Hibernate documentation is pretty good, and covers this sort of
thing well.
