Re: Using date and increment as row id

Compound-value columns run afoul of the basic atomicity rule of relational databases. A compound key like (year.month.index) is best implemented as an index defined with year, month and incrementing index columns. Elementary SQL easily displays the compound value wherever required.

You asked this question a week ago and evidently didn't like the answer, so please tell us what problem you think you are solving by combining such values in one column.
