RtDbGenID is a non-visual component which implements a
unique number generator. All values will be saved into a
table in database you work with.  Every access which
generates a new value locks this table and saves the
generated value before releasing control, so that other
users can safely run it parallel through the network. SQL
queries as 'SELECT MAX(...)+1 FROM...' are a bit
dangereous, because many users can theoretically execute
this query at the same time and get the same results.
Databases which support referential integrity can get over
it, if the value is supposed for a field defined as unique,
but even at the minimum it would rise an exception. dBase
knows nothing about real uniqueness and in this case it can
cause severe data errors.

Files Included:
README.WRI	this file
RTREGGI.PAS	unit to register RtDbGenID with Delphi
RTDBID.PAS	RtDbGenID itself (DCU in the demo version and PAS in the registered one)

LOGIN.*		Login dialog for the above project
RTDBID.HLP	RtDbGenID help file
RTDBID.KWF	RtDbGenID keyword file
16\*.*		Files specific to Delphi 1.0
32\*.*		Files specific to Delphi 2.0

Installation:
Copy the RT*.DCR, RT*.DCU and RT*.RES files to the same
directory, including files from appropriate
subdirectory(16\ or 32\). Then follow the Delphi
instuctions for installing components. Both HLP and KWF
files should probably be copied into DELPHI\BIN, the KWF is
the keyword file, which can be installed with HELPINST.EXE.

Test project:
TEST.DPR lets you define any unique number and generate its
values. Nothing special. If the table for the unique keys
doesn't exist it will be created. If it exists but the
field for the unique key you name doesn't exist, it will be
restuctured.
