I know of someone who uses a Sequence table for the ID functions: Sequence table: table_name (varchar) last_sequence (int) next_sequence (int)
Query the table based on table name get the next_sequence and then update The sequence table after the insert -----Original Message----- From: Rick Sanders [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2007 9:23 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Dynamic ID's Hello list, I've done dynamic ID's before in .net and xml. I can't seem to figure out how to do it in CF. Here's what I want to do: - Query the database with the ID's. - Sort the ID's in proper numerical order - Grab the last ID (largest number which will be the last row of the query) - Then, add 1 to the number If someone has a better idea for a unique ID, I'm open to suggestions. Happy Holidays!
