That is a bad idea. The database should be controlling the autoincrementation. AR should not be. > On the other side, how do i mark the column as auto-increment with AR? You don't AFAIK. You mark it as auto-increment in the DB. You are trying to reinvent DB features in the application layer. This is a dreadful idea. Don't waste your time.
