field cf_uid

hello all! out of curiosity, the field cf_uid chronoform tables, what is?

Hi iacoposk8 ,

It's a random string. It is probably unique though, as it isn't checked, it is remotely possible that it might not be.

Hi iacoposk8,

Good question - I think it's there in case you should need a unique identifier. I've never used it but I guess that Max must have done.

Hi,

Its md5 of a PHP generated unique number, it should be unique but as Bob said, you can't rule that unless its checked before the save occurs.

Regards,
Max

ok to! because I have a table in a db that I would like to reuse chronoform. So I put a random number with md5 and unique, I can do this, "conversion table"?

Hi iacoposk8 ,

You don't need to add it, ChronoForms will work OK without the uid column in the table.
