Hey all,
I've got a project where I'm taking form information from the user and
writing records to several tables in a MySQL database.
The problem I'm having is I need to write a unique number for the ID
column of the records. Auto increment won't work because I could have
conflicts due to replication of the database servers. Anyone have any
techique they use for creating unique ID field entries in a db table?
I was thinking maybe using a random 3 digit number and a unix timestamp?

Jeff:
Look into getmypid() and uniqid() or combine the two.
How about using a DB abstraction layer that provides its own method of
implementing sequences? Wouldn't this take away the auto_increment problem?
