The other benefit of createUUID() is that you can later split / combine records from different tables if you ever need to, such as pulling production records down to review in development ... no integer clashes when you've got fully unique values across the tables and datasources.

Not recommended. CreateUUID() would work much better if you don't want integer only IDs. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
