 You need a guaranteed unique id to be used as a primary index field.
 "Need" is a strong word.  Its very deployment and use-case sensitive.
	In the case of a database, it is a hard requirement.  A primary 
index field must be guaranteed unique.  There is absolutely no way 
around this issue.

 "Need"?  No.  It is a deployment choice with easily understood
 ramifications.
	Perhaps for the application, but this is a totally different 
ballgame when it comes to a database.  Google for "primary index 
field", and hopefully you will understand.
