I quickly had issues with data consistency because the RecID field is not a permanent identifier for data. A RecID can be reused when a record is deleted and new data is inserted into the DB.įor example, after you populate the listbox with the records you want (using the RecID as the rowtag), this data now becomes stale.

If another user deletes, let's say record 5 (RecID 5), and you click on the listbox with the rowtag of (RecID) 5 - any DB operations you perform with that RecID will be on the wrong data.

Which one goes where is up to you and your programming style. Xojo is a multi-platform, object-oriented application development tool that enables people to created high-quality, powerful and secure applications for the desktop (OS X, Windows and Linux), web and web-mobile. The Xojo rowtag can also take an array if you want to get creative and put both the RecID and the sequence # in the rowtag.īefore I complete any record operations, i check the DB to see if the sequence # still exists and if so, does the RecID match.
