Thomas Vandahl commented on TORQUE-128:
---------------------------------------
Well, I have no problem with the name. It actually exactly describes what it
does for the column: "automatically increment its value" Just because others
call this different we should not use foggy terms for simple things :-)
I would leave it in as-is.
> remove autoIncrement attribute of column element
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TORQUE-128
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TORQUE-128
> Project: Torque
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Affects Versions: 4.0
> Reporter: Thomas Fischer
> Fix For: 4.0
>
>
> In the 3.3 schema, the id method for a column is determined by the idMethod
> attribute of the table, the defaultIdMethod attribute of the database and the
> primaryKey attribute of the column. This is sufficient for determining the
> idMethod.
> However, in the 3.3 schema, there is still the autoIncrement attribute which
> kind of overrides the settings outlined above. There is no such equivalent
> for sequence generation, thus the attribute is bad for database
> interoperability.
> Therefore I'd suggest to remove this attribute with no replacement. The
> consequence would be that it would no longer be possible to have
> auto_increment on columns which are no primary key (but again, torque
> supports no such feature for sequence generation).
