>From a performance and maintainability perspective I think there is a big win in moving to the new generators. But the problem is people migrating and the change in expectations. 2 specific examples:
1) User migrating where the legacy code picked "identity" generation. The new code would pick "sequence style" generation. How do these users migrate or update their schemas? I am pretty sure our schema update tool does not support de-IDENTITY-fying columns. In fact I don't even know how to do that in any db, let along in any kind of standard way. 2) Users migrating where the legacy code picked any of the "hilo" generations. The new code would pick "sequence style" generation. Here the problem is the values stored in the sequence/id-table versus how those are translated to id values stored in the entity tables. How would users migrate those values?
