Okay, we actually have a distinct ID on every table, but it is not created as primary key (and does not even have a unique index on most of the tables as our own apps usually select on the geometry index. Most time, I need read-only access only, mostly for investigations of some special cases where our app chokes on the data. I'm happy to define a primary key in for editing / writing cases. Btw, this actually is one of the reasons I'm evaluating uDig: I'm looking for alternatives to QGis, which needs an int4 as primary key (we usually have int8), and even manages to crash the X server (!) on a rather large, but valid polygon (about 1.5 mio vertices, and about half a million of them in the outer ring). Maybe I'll put together my results, and post them here or somewhere on the web and the pointer here. Markus -- Markus Schaber | Logical Tracking&Tracing International AG Dipl.
