Well, an auto-increment sid is an easy method to provide unique sids in
case of adding new sensors to an existing db. In my speacial case, i'm
adding the same sensor again and again, without dropping the database.
For just that case, i have trouble keeping my external scripts or
barnyard.conf up to date, so a persistant sid would be fine.
As we only have one sensor assigned to that database, that should not
cause any side effects. I'll have a look at this, thanks for your reply.


cheers,
Chris.
