How to generate IDs for tables in Saleslogix without using "SLX_DBIDs" Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi All!

Can anyone suggest me how I can generate IDs for a table to insert records into it without using SLX_DBIDs.

I'm particular about not using SLX_DBIDs because I'm using an SQLOLEDB.1 and not SLX OleDB.

Thanks in Advance!

First of all I have to ask the obvious question - why aren't you using the SLX OleDB? Besides not being sync aware the provider makes the generation of IDs and the updates of extra fields (CREATEUSER, CREATEDATE, MODIFYDATE, MODIFYUSER) an easy automatic task.

As far as not using the SLX_DBIDs you can set your table up in architect to auto generate the ID field (again if you were using the SLX OLEDB provider.

I can think of only about .5 reasons to not use the SLX provider to not create SLX ID values. There are ways to do it, but I'd have to ask.....why?

Also, anyone who works with SLX will tell you, this is not a good idea, and going the route of *not* using the SLX provider really doesn't provide any benefit. I'd bet if you wanted to go through the scenario that you think causes the need to create the SLX ID values without using the SLX provider that we could show you the flaw in your thinking and how to use the SLX provider in that scenario.

Just my 2 cents....
