Hi there, I've been looking at using Middlekit for some projects, not necessarily with WebKit, and am having some problems. First off I'm really impressed by it. It seems quite simple to use and works nicely. Unfortunately I don't really like MySQL. I usually use Firebird or Postgres. Neither of which have an equivalent to the "lastInsertedID" as far as I can tell. I'm also not a huge fan of autonums. They often seem to cause me grief and they make merging databases impossible.
My proposal is to try changing the way the MiddleKit deals with object IDs. Instead of having the database generate them which is bound to limit it's cross-platform-ness what if the objectID fields were turned into varchar(50)'s or something like that and anytime we need a new ID we generate a GUID or similar. Then we just have a generateKey method in the SQLObject and call that on inserts. I don't imagine this should be too much of a change from the way it works nw but it would make it much easier to port to other systems. I would be willing to do this if it is of interest. Either way I probably will try it but if it sounds like something that might be useful I would like to have some input.
