Based on the naming (t1.key vs t2.fkey) it looks like you may have a one to many relationship. If so, can't you just bring in the primary key from t2, as under the above assumption there will be only one matching row from t1? ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly

I think the sequence will work though, in reflection I guess it would as fast as pulling another field, and with the numbers would be a very long time before getting duplicates - even if you had thousands of users, returning 100s of rows every few minutes (I think...). ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match

To expand on this, if you are joining on fields that will return only one record for each value, you should still be able to make a primary key for the returned records using a combination of the primary keys of both records being joined. If hibernate only works with primary keys consisting of one column, than you can create a new field using a function of the primary keys of the records being joined. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

[GENERAL] Can I getting a unique ID from a select
I am using hibernate, using a view like a read only table and I need a primary key each time a select is issued. So in Oracle terms this might work, though I am skeptical that Hibernate is going to return a cached result. create view myview as select rownum, t1.field, t2.field from tableOne t1, tableTwo t2 where t1.key = t2.fkey select * from myview But what I really need is select makemeauniquekey, t1.field, t2.field ... Maybe there is no way I think... incrementing a sequence per select is untenable. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
