You get the same behavior as auto increment in for instance MySQL with this one: http://software-lab.de/doc/refG.html#genKey
I use it a lot in the VizReader code. I'm not so sure I would've used it much though if I had know about the (id) function from the start: http://software-lab.de/doc/refI.html#id In my case it's all about displaying a nice id that is easy to relate for humans and JavaScript in my non-traditional gui and as you can see both approaches accomplish that but that latter is imo more elegant. /Henrik Sarvell On Thu, Mar 31, 2011 at 1:26 PM, Jakob Eriksson <ja...@vmlinux.org> wrote: > On Thu, Mar 31, 2011 at 09:57:06AM +0800, Edwin Eyan Moragas wrote: > > Hi List, > > > > what's the best way to go about autogenerated keys for Pilog? i've > > been digging around a bit and can't find anything related. > > > > hints and pointers would be most appreciated. thank you. > > > Hi! > > I have copied your (very good) question to: > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5496015/autogenerated-keys-in-pilog > > As I want to promote the Picolisp language on that site, but I have a hard > time thinking up good questions and answers on my own. > > best regards, > Jakob > -- > UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe >
