Thanks Massimo. Great/useful example (for certain use cases). Your example, at last, made me realize that we have made (I think...) slightly different assumptions in the discussion of this issue thus far:
In my case I am simply trying to aggregate multiple child databases into one parent database. In other words the records in the child databases are newly created there and then later uploaded to the parent. Maybe an example will clarify: 1] a number of records are created in ChildDB_A and then uploaded to ParentDB. 2] a number of OTHER records are created in ChildDB_B and then uploaded to ParentDB. In step 2 I do not wish to update the records previously inserted in step 1; I simply wish to add more (different) records to ParentDB. If I were to use standard integer id's though there will be a good chance that the id's from step 1 and step 2 will overlap (and cause chaos). Hope that clarifies my problem (or highlights my lack of understanding ;-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
