Get a book on RDBMS and learn why an auto-increment can NEVER be a
relational key. Learn why a table name should be a collective or
plural name (unless there is only one row in the table). Learn way
"id" is too vague to be data element name. Learn why camelCase is a
bitch to read --hint: where does your eye jump when you see an
Uppercase letter?

I know you want to have a "Magical Universal Key" that will solve all
your design problems, without having to really think or learn anything.
What is your **real key** in your **real** problem?

Going to a Newsgroup to get what usually takes a few YEARS of college
and experience does not work.
