Hello Max, thanks. I think sequential ids will be a must in my case. It does not have to be for a PK, but for non-pk is also fine. I am creating a small multi-tenancy Accounting/HR application and when I create employees, I am thinking of giving an employeeID for the employee. In addition, I want to be able to specify the start range of the employeeID also and add prefix for the start range
Looking into the following for a non-pk field. @Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.SEQUENCE) Hopefully this will work for me.
