Hi all,

One of the reasons we have dropped eZp for major projects is the use of simple incremental IDs within the system, which leads to general portability problems and a terribly problematic Dev / Staging / Production workflow.

Is the implementation of a Unique Identifier system considered in eZp's roadmap?

Hi Aldo,

In Exponential you can use Identifier datatype where you define start value and incremental value. Every object of class can have own unique ID. More about datatypes here

mmh... but within the data model all PKs and FKs still use the simple incremental ID, right?
