Maybe even give a warning some time _before_ you run out of keys...? ;) You should never run out of keys. Every time you sync, you also check if there are many keys left to use... if you sync once a day, as soon as you have less than 10 times the expected daily usage of keys left to use, you request a new set of keys. You still would have to handle duplicates. -- Roger -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
