One more doubt: Without going into the details, assume there is a relation like this
,------------------------ | (rel elem-id (+Number)) `------------------------ and it is "reused": 1. first, it holds an (arbitrary) number that is used during object creation to associate it with other objects that are created too in the same commit. 2. once the db-objects are, these id's can be (and are) overwritten to omething more meaningfull, I had my own function for this, but now I want to use Henriks proposal (integers produced with the id function). Is step (1) still possible when the relation is defined as ,------------------------ | (rel elem-id (+Key +Number)) `------------------------ i.e. can I first assign e.g. 37 to it during the object creation, and then let the 'id' function re-assign e.g. 9 to it when post-processing the newly created objects? -- cheers, Thorsten -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
