Farrukh,
I still think its better to upgrade the External ID.
And less confusing -if you have two things doing
related and overlapping things - which do people
pick - or do they put the same value in both
places - probably - and therefore its a clue
it should be just one field.
Not sure this should be mandatory - blanks
should be allowed - since people may insert
content that does not need a LID - or may
choose to assign one at some later point
in the process.
I'm completely baffled as to why you think a
separate LID field is more efficient - queries
should be just as fast either way.
Also - surely everything inserted into the registry
requires a classification so - I'm not seeing any
difference here?
Thanks, DW.
