Good way to create ids?

[Ritesh Trivedi]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a better way to create ids for seed data to avoid PK conflicts with already existing data?

Ideally being able to define a base # and reference that in the seed data file instead of hard coding ids or something similar?

Either use alphanumeric or numbers lower than 10000

everything below 10,000 is considered Demo ID's
Some use named ID's
beyond that, I would suggest you change the auto ID start numbers load
you data via the UI then export.

You can use low numbers (< 10000) for you seed and import data and then
after everything is loaded, manually change the next sequence of numbers
that are loaded after you do ant run-install-seed.  These id numbers from
which the sequences are obtained are stored in a data file.
