Allow specifying ID generation type for featuretype
---------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-2936
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2936
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Configuration, Global, Oracle, PostGIS
Environment: Oracle connector will benefit most
Reporter: Simon Peter Haverdings
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Priority: Minor
Allow the user to choose how the ID for inserting new featuretypes will be generated.
Currently (at least for the oracle connector) is only uses a query like 'select max(id) from table'.
This will cause concurrency problems when having multiple instances working on a single database (table).
It would be great if (for oracle) you could specifiy it should use a specific (Oracle) Sequence. This way the concurrency problem is avoided and multiple systems can run on the same database. Any client calling this sequence will get a unique value!
Also other ID types can be used for creating the id.
For example: UUID, GUID, NULL (database autoincrement)
