I think Ralph's solution is an elegant one, but I have no idea if it can work in our virtualized environment (basically running IOCs in Docker images on virtual Linux deployment server).

Well, it should, shouldn't it? But I have no idea, either.

In the end we are going to use... sequence records. I originally disliked the idea, but it actually allows to keep the driver simple and the database flexible.

Please consider Andrew's idea to send different events (triggered from the sequence record) instead of hard-wiring your record sets. That allows for even more flexibility (even in the running system), zero-effort extension, etc.
