Unless I'm not understanding the question, you already have this. With ActiveRecord, (by default) every record has an id that will be unique. You don't have to do anything to get it. While you can override it, every table has a field named 'id'. This will be incremented and maintained by the system. In MySQL it will be an 'auto_increment' field and defined as the primary key. ---Michael -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
