Hi.
Yesterday I stumbled over ERXLongPrimaryKeyFactory - while looking
for other things and I'm interested in hearing some experiences with
this.
It seems to implement the old "eo pk table" approach, well known from
OpenBase.
Currently I'm working on a project where I really don't know how big
some tables in a database may become (some of them may become really
big), so I'm not sure whether I should go with integer primary keys
(32 Bit) and I'm also not sure whether to go with db created primary
keys (perhaps issues when using a multi master cluster).
For now I have chosen to use 24 byte binary primary keys generated by
EOF, but I'm not really happy with them. They are hard to use with
other tools, even when just doing some fetches for one row in the db
tool just to test something.
It may also get hard to use the DB from any other technology then
WebObjects.
So, do you use the ERXLongPrimaryKeyFactory? Or just db created
primary keys (what type?)? Or the binary pks from EOF?
Thanks for opinions.
