All "real" databases run counters for their ID fields. Fields that we think of as identifying (e.g. name, social security, address) often need to be changed. So yes, an IT professional database specialist had better know about counters.
Are you talking about running a TW using mySQL to populate it? I don't know if anyone has done that ... you could check the vault. That would be a fun project, but I don't know how productive it would be. It would essentially change the portable nature of TW. I imagine that there are other Wikis out there designed from the ground up to use a mySql or some other database. That would probably be the better way to go if a central "real" database is a functional business requirement. -- Mark On Feb 18, 2:28 am, Alex Hough <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Mark. > Would an IT professional database specialist understand 'run a counter'? > Could the JSON in the tiddler be made to go into a mySQL database? > > Alex > > 2009/2/17 Mark S. <[email protected]>: > > > > > > > If you can run a counter as you suck them, then each tiddler could be > > prefaced by an index number, guaranteeing their uniqueness. > > > -- Mark > > > On Feb 17, 5:06 am, Ken Girard <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Take a look at:http://tiddlyvault.tiddlyspot.com/#[[Working with multiple > >> TiddlyWikis]] > >> especially ImportTiddlersPlugin & IncludePlugin > > >> Of course if everyone names their tiddlers the same (Answer 1, Answer > >> 2) then you are going to have issues if you try and bring them into > >> the same TW. > > >> Also I seem to remember that forEach has a method of reading other TWs > >> as well.
