Re: [postmodern-devel] Defer creation of sequence ids?

Hello Vamsee,

You make a good point. However, sometimes it is useful to have the id of your new object before saving it. The next-id function can be used for that, of course. But deferring the creation of ids for all DAO objects might break some existing code. How moving the initialization of the auto-id field to an initialize-instance method, which only does it if no :defer-id (or something similar) keyword arg is given? Then, save/insert-dao could check whether the id field has a value, and initialize it when it does not.
