Hello,
I want to add a random unique ID to a Mysql table. Collisions
are unlikely but possible so to handle those cases I'd like to
regenerate the random ID until there is no collision and only
then add my row. Any suggestions for a newbie as to the right
way to go about doing this?
Best,
Craig
Craig:
Simple.
Generate a "random unique ID" via whatever method you want. However,
before using, search your dB to see if it's already in use. If it is,
then generate another one and repeat.
Cheers,
tedd
