Re: sequences or auto_increment column????

I prefer to use Auto_Increment for ease of use. In addition, I don't think
that MySQL supports sequences outright (like you may be used to with
Oracle). There are some workarounds availabe within the MySQL manual, do a
search with sequences.

Good Luck,

Dennis
