I have a problem with my database.
Basically I am turning the title of a business into ID.
One way to do it is to get rid alphanumeric
My primaryid must not contain nonalphanumeric. But, japan, chinese, korean language contain nonalphanumeric.
what should i do with that?
I think a good approach is to allow any string except “special characters” as id in dataabase
can I know what kind of strings I should get rid and how do I get rid those strings with vb.net
Basically I want all of my databases to be able to contain all kind of glyps including chinese, korea, japanese, etc.
I want “the same character” to be represented by the same glyph. For example, A and a is the same. ‘‘’ ““”
What’s the approach I should use in making the IDs?
Can you guarantee that the title can be unique? Is this column already set as unique? Using strings can be tricky especially with multiple character sets
An alternate option would be to use an integer auto increment field, then format the values using padding or the number itself. If you do not expect very many businesses, you can start from a large value liek 123456789 and the IDs are immediately available for use.
