Hello,
I have an App that it's connected to a MySQL database.
The way that the DB manager generates his keys for all his tables is through an integer column with auto increment.
I could try to calculate the next auto increment key value but I believe this will create conflics in the future (e.g. multiple users saving records at the same time).
However, I could be able to feed the column key through Appsheet, but we will have users also pouring information into the database through a web-app as well.
Under this scenario, is it possible for MySQL to generate a unique ID as Appsheet does?
If that is not possible, and the MySQL database must key the int + auto increment, shall we have two key columns? one used in the Appsheet environment and the other on the web-app environment?
Is there any other approach we could take?
Thanks in advance!

In MySQL the equivalent function is called: UUID()
User | Count |
---|---|
16 | |
15 | |
4 | |
3 | |
2 |
