Hello, I am converting an existing db to a web-based app. For most of the tables I have created a standard auto-incrementing integer id column. However, two of them have a pre-existing id column in the form 'AA- DDDDDDD', where A is alpha, D is numeric and the hyphen is embedded.
I am looking for a way to allow these self-generated id values to be entered by the respective 'add' and 'edit' actions which normally hide the 'id' column. I suspect this may be nigh on impossible and I should rename the existing id column to something else (i.e. num), insert a normal auto- incrementing integer id column and re-bake the affected tables. Is this my only, perhaps my only _sane_, option?
