I think I know what you mean by stomping and given a DBM situation, I can see that happening. You'd have a problem with the bit of code that gets the next ID for an incoming post. There's a definite concurrency issue there if you don't have something intelligent. I do not know if they have resolved that. Using it with MySQL would eliminate such a problem given that the database is built to accomodate such a situation. (Insert two rows at the 'same time' and you'll still get two IDs from the database) For the record, we've only ever used it in a database. It just makes sense. --Joel (Let's see if my text wraps properly this time.) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
