So, my proposal would be to allow engines to advertise any internal
row-identifiers (and probably, the methods to look up a row using such
an identifier) that they may maintain to the API (should this be a
suitable key for replication). Of course, you can still demand that a
logical primary key be present in case an engine does not support such
a feature.
Ok... we have what is called position() in the handler API but its
schematics are weak at best. Being able to say "give me a key" for the
row would work better for this anyway. The one thing that is a bit odd
though will be that I need to give a user level sort of access to
this. Right now there is nothing that we have that represents a sort
of ROWID. ROWID in MySQL was just primary key :)
