how to get a unique INT value in C++?

[flyingrock]

I just want to get a unique INT value to assign it to every record in database as primary key, any API can do it? Any related information is appreciated.

a unique INT? You mean through different app-starts?

You can store Your value in the registry or in an ini-file and increment it.

Hope this helps :confused:

May be CoCreateGuid() or UuidCreate() or UuidCreateSequential() suite your needs. These are usually used for generating a unique 128-bit integer in M$ plaftorms.

Why not just use an autonumber field in the database???????
