Others have suggested last_insert_id. Is last_insert_id a good option? The DBI page has scary things like: "Given all the caveats above, it's clear that this method must be used with care." And some of those are ugly caveats.
See bug 10478 and bug 9921.
I was thinking of generating an ID made of 4 parts which should be unique enough: 1) 16 character random string (A-Za-z0-9 character options). 2) process id padded to 6 digits 3) microsecond time padded to 20 digits 4) CGISESSID (or a 32 character random string if undefined).
Use a random number generator from cpan? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
