Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
DataServer for ORACLE

RECID function

For backward compatibility, the DataServer supports the RECID function for ORACLE tables that have a PROGRESS_RECID column. The Progress-to-ORACLE conversion utility creates an indexed NUMBER column, called PROGRESS_RECID, with unique values for each row. You can also add this column to ORACLE tables manually. See the "Manually adding PROGRESS_RECID to ORACLE" section for instructions.

You can make an existing application that includes RECID behave more consistently across data sources by replacing RECID with ROWID. See the "ROWID function" section for more information.
