On a related note, how about splitting the 64-bit ID into 2 32-bit fields -- an object ID and a class ID? That would make debugging easier, since by looking in the db you could see the "real" values for the object ID and class ID without having to split the 64-bit number apart. It would also make it possible to use SQL joins between MK tables outside of MK (although you'd have to take the class ID into account with a WHERE clause). - Geoff _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
