Creating Unique IDs Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi,
I am new to Saleslogix. We are using Saleslogix 7.2. I want to create .NET DLL to create unique Ids for the table. I saw some samples and they are using SLXDB_ID. Is it must to use this procedure to generate unique ids? If yes, How to add that procedure into .NET Class. If not, what is the best way to generate?

Thanks

If this is on the LAN side...table name Abbreviation & cSTR(Timer) kinds of stuff always has worked for me....you need a 12 character unique string for the TABLE......

the POSTALCODE table: "USZIP0" + "5 digit postal code" + 0,1,2,3....for multiple towns\city per zip. it's a free ID with no overhead of hitting SYS Key Gen table....

I'll give you all a hint.....on a one to many table the ParentID is ALWAYS unique for the first record related to any parent......

Parent Table ACCOUNT keyfield: ACCOUNTID= 'A1'
Child Table AARDVARK table keyfield: AARDVARKID = 'A1', ACCOUNTID (the parent) = 'A1'

works every time.....it's a free ID with no overhead of hitting SYS Key Gen table....
