Identity column for SLX Tables Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi all,
I heard that, we can implement an identity column for saleslogix tables id field, so that the id will be generated automatically instead of creating new id whenever we are inserting a new record.
Is it true?
If so, is there any drawbacks when we enable that (like synchronization etc).
How can i enable that.
What will be the seed and increment value for the identity column.
Please let me know.

It is kind of true. This is not a SQL Server identity field though - you have no control over seed and increment.

To check and/or enable the feature, start the SLX DB Manager program, navigate to the table you are interested and check the 'Auto Increment' flag for the ID. Save changes and then stop and start SLX services on your SLX server.

From then on, you will be able to INSERT rows to that table without specifying the ID, which will be generated by the SLX OLEDB Provider. This provider also takes care of sync for you.

You must use an SLX OLEDB connection for this feature to work - straight inserts via SQL will not generate the ID field, regardless of the auto increment setting.
