Custom Auto-Incrementing Columns

Hi all, Is there a way to create a column that has a unique id per row like id, but where I can specify the number it starts from? Basically I'm working on a ecommerce system and I would like the sales order numbers to start from say, 1000. I'd use ID, but as far as I know, it starts from 1. - J

Empty Result set

What's the preferred method of checking to see if a result set is empty in a view? For instance, I'm writing blog software and have a view by year method. If there are no posts, I want to raise a http404. I've tried == {} and == [] to no avail. Thanks, - James --~--~-~--~~--

Model Options for Admin Site

Hey all, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in my models file, but when I add a record in admin, all records are titled [name of model] object. This is a problem especially in related tables since there's no way to tell them apart. What do I need to add and where? Thanks -James --~--~-~
