A couple of questions. Why don't you use them as key_names rather than id's. Then you know you will never get a clash ?
Also random keys/ids are supposedly better than monotonically increasing id's as I understand it. There's been a bit written about not using an incrementing time to create ids, (trying to find the article). Had something to do with the key distribution across the underlying google infrastructure and sequential keys (ie incrementing on the right most side as in aaaaa1, aaaaa2 had an impact on write performance) Mind you I could be imagining this Maybe someone else could chime in with this detail ;-) Rgds T -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
