The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: DBIx::Sequence DSLIP: bdpOp description: Perl extension for the generation of unique userid: BBEAUSEJ (Benoit Beausejour) chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities) communities: [EMAIL PROTECTED], smartworker mailing list similar: DBIx::OracleSequence rationale: This module is intended to give easier portability to Perl database application by providing a database independant unique ID generator. This way, an application developer is not bound to use his database's SEQUENCE or auto_increment thus making his application portable on multiple database environnements. This module implements a simple Spin Locker mechanism and is garanteed to return a unique value every time it is called, even with concurrent processes. It uses your database for it's state storage with ANSI SQL92 compliant SQL. enteredby: BBEAUSEJ (Benoit Beausejour) enteredon: Wed Jun 6 01:48:12 2001 GMT The resulting entry would be: DBIx:: ::Sequence bdpOp Perl extension for the generation of unique BBEAUSEJ Thanks for registering, The Pause Team PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=6c000000_1f37a1e7155d3db3&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=6c000000_1f37a1e7155d3db3&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
