Bobby,
So basically what I would do is add a column to my advertisements table (bit) and lose the temporary table. I suppose I would just run a scheduled task once a week and delete the ads where verified flag is 0 and the insertDate is older than a week. Does this sound about right. I still need to get the next available Id from that table though and be able to guarantee it's availability upon final ad insertion. What will handle that? There is other things in the app that need the ID prior to insert IE: folder and image naming etc...
