I'm thinking of this new column as analogous to the name column in the Mirror table in the main Open vSwitch database. It's a similar situation, because there's no need there, either, for a name except to assist humans. We don't require that column to be unique, so I don't think we need this new one to be unique either. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
