Do you think it would be safe (wise) to use DateTime.Now as Primary Key (to provide unique). What are the chances of many users of your app creating a duplicate pkey at the same millisecond (if you sync to a server that would raise a key viol error)?
Benefits:
1. Easy to maintain - get the Now time.
2. Avoid dups from AutoInc or your own Pkey incrementer across multiple devices synced on a cloud server.
3. ( ? )
Pitfalls:
1. Long (4 bytes) - big deal?
2. ( i don't know)
Your comments most welcome.
Thanks
