Sorry Reddy but I think that the VMID/UID classes will not help you unless
you change the data type of your database. The VMID/UID classes cannot be
reduced to a simple integer as an integer does not give enough combinations
to gaurantee uniqueness. The data type you would need would be a char of at
least 40 in size (you will have to work that out yourself), or you could use
a combination of data types.
Perhaps the VMID/UID classes will not work with your project and a simple
counter system will work better - it is a decision you must make.
