Hi All,
We need to be able to add a system-generated unique key string to a record entered into an RDBMS via a Zope application. The same database is also accessed by an ASP application which uses GUIDs for this function: -
- Is there something similar to a GUID generator in Zope?
- If so, would it be practical to actually generate this string in the same format as MS GUIDs (I know they look horrible, but an trying to keep equivalence between the ASP-powered functions and the Zope-powered functions)?
FWIW, the Zope application is on Win32, so perhaps we could get Windows to generate us a GUID?
Thanks in anticipation for any input!
