Hi,
I'm just wondering - is it considered good or bad practice to use a
Django model's in-built ID field?
Say for example you wanted a unique identifier for each transactio -
should you be generating your own, or can you use just self.id?
Don't go there. Generate your own. Consider what might happen if you
needed to migrate to a different database or platform. The id integer
will be a nightmare to manage so the unique transactions retain their
original numbers.
