[Owncloud] User primary key questions

[Frank Karlitschek]

Hi Sarah,

thanks a lot for your message. This sounds very interesting.
It would be awesome to have your plan implemented. Especially as app.
So I can definitely try to help you.

I'm not sure which DB table you are referring to. Is there some documentation about the planed architecture or the concept that you want to implement?

Thanks a lot.


Frank

Also, I was wondering if there were any significant design choices to why you chose to use the uid string as the primary key rather than an auto-increasing integer (perhaps I should take a different approach in my design).
