Actually, that won't work in all cases. If the current timestamp is 20040213114859, then adding 1 (rather than INTERVAL 1 SECOND), gives 20040213114860, which gets converted to 20040213114800 on insert. If you've already used all the timestamps for that minute, then you're never going to get to the next minute (and thus never going to get a usable ID) by repeatedly adding 1. -- Keith C.
