Hello,

I have a paradox database. I want to create maintained secondary indexes but
I need a primary index first. The problem is that none of the field values
in the database are unique ( nor would a combination of the fields ).

I was thinking of using paradox's autoincrement field for this purpose.

I would like to know if you would agree with using autoincrement fields and
if not, why not?.

Thank you,

Thomas
