Hello!

I searched the web for an explanation of the hilo-Id-Generator principles but was not able to find anything that could have helped me.

Can you help me?

Where can I get Information about it?

Thank you.

Jörg

The hilo generator uses a hi/lo algorithm to efficiently generate identifiers of type long, short or int, given a table and column (by default hibernate_unique_key and next_hi respectively) as a source of hi values. The hi/lo algorithm generates identifiers that are unique only for a particular database.
