Thanks for your reply Paul
As it happens, if we were to get more than one record with the same
timestamp, it would not be a problem.

Not an answer to your question per se...
We had an application that time stamped all of the transactions in its
log file.  But they came in so fast that multiple records had the same
time stamp!  The solution was to have the application delay for a
fraction of a second between writes so the time stamps were unique.
