Avoid using auto increment? Take a look at the node table's nid column in mysql. It's set to auto increment. Is there something else you mean?<BR>

Could someone either clue me in or point to a prior discussion about<BR>
why Drupal avoids using auto-incrementing database columns? If it is<BR>
database compatibility, which versions of which databases that we<BR>
support do not have it?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
