I believe that phplib_id is only used by serweb. There are a few columns that fall into the category of being used only by serweb. Recently the database creation scripts were updated to allow for serweb tables to be created (or not created) based on user input, however, there is no ability to specifically include or not include serweb specific columns. Perhaps, the roadmap can include a task to include serweb columns only if serweb tables are being created. So, Mike, my suggestion would be to keep the id column as a unique value and only include phplib_id if you are going to support serweb (or want to retain compatibility with the existing database creation/openserctl scripts). Any other comments, suggestions or opinions are welcome. Regards, Norm Mike Williams wrote: > That is definitely the issue, it's a known bug on sourceforge.
