@Jim, If you use CF to generate a UUID, then you do *not* need to hit the DB to verify uniqueness. Each call to createUUID() will create a unique value, within all limits of reasonableness. So, yes, autoIncrement works as well, but to answer your original question, createUUID() is a clean way to create unique IDs without undue round-trips to the DB server.
