Automatically generates Long primary keys for entities. Features a cache which reduces database roundtrips as well as optionally encoding Entity type in PK value.

usage:

override either the ERXGeneratesPrimaryKey interface like this:

 private NSDictionary _primaryKeyDictionary = null;
 
 public NSDictionary primaryKeyDictionary(boolean inTransaction) {
                if (_primaryKeyDictionary == null) {
                        _primaryKeyDictionary = ERXLongPrimaryKeyFactory.primaryKeyDictionary(this);
                }
                return _primaryKeyDictionary;
 }
 

or manually call
ERXLongPrimaryKeyFactory.primaryKeyDictionary(EOEnterpriseObject eo);

the necessary database table is generated on the fly.

Encoding Entity in PK values
If the system property ERXIntegerPrimaryKeyFactory.encodeEntityInPkValue is set to true then the last 6 bits from the 64 bit primary key is used to encode the Subentity in the pk value. This speeds up inheritance with multiple tables. In order to support this you must add an entry to the userInfo from the Subentities:

key=entityCode
value= %lt;%lt; an unique integer, no longer than 6 bit - 1
