[Zope] RE : [Zope] Sybase: How generate id keys? (surrogate keys)

[Sin Hang Kin]

The unique id problem come up again and again.

The automatically generated unique id will benefit web author with

sql row id
object id

and may be some others

With a view that zope will be run over the network with distributed storage
across the net, I would like to suggest we implement a unique id server
which can be a zope server serving on another port and serialize all request
and return the globally unique id.

Does this work?

I also suggest zope can be configured to automatically get the object id
from this service and have globally unique object ids.

Rgs,
