Thing 1 and Thing 2
Apparently around Don’s way there is a classic database problem. No-one has surnames and they all have the same first name. One could of course use an artificial key, but Don has hit on a better solution. Sequence numbers for surnames. You never know it could be the way forward, in fact it might make the UK National ID Card a simpler implementation.
