Hi there,
Here's my situation:
I'm making a message board and I've decided the best way to go about the
structure is to have 3 tables, two of them will be "Posts" and "Replys".
Now, in order for this ti work, each post has to have a UniqueID - same with
the replys. Looking at another program, I can see that one way to do this is
to do it by rows (ie. count how many rows, add 1, then that is the ID). It
would be unique because no two rows would be 1 for example.
The problem I can see is that the database would become incredibly huge
(size wise I mean). I want to delete the posts after 30 days, and if I
delete the row, then that would mess up the row system.
Any suggestions?
Have you heard about auto_increment? Read on:
