Double ID in links.db

Double ID in links.db
Hi,

How come the same number in the id field shows up in links.db?
Caused by a slow connection when two editors are validating and/or building at the same time?
Is it possible to force the script to replace field id numbers from deleted records, so that the actual number of links is always the same as the numbering of records in links.db?

Kind regards, Leon

Because you are using a flat file system, which is highly prone to corruption...

To answer your question, there is a script written by ThePerson1234 (Drew) that can re-incremente the ID numbers...but this is not a foul-proof solution.

Buh Bye!

Thanks.
will it be much hassle to import an existing links.db into MySQL?

Nope...If you are really concerned about this issue and intend on having a highly interactive and robust directory of records. then you should consider upgrading to Links SQL.
