What is the Sequence Updater +------------------------------- + +The Sequence updater is written to synchronize your PowerAdmin/DNS database +after you have manually inserted records into it. + +2. Why do I need that? +------------------------------- + +Because PowerAdmin uses the php-PEAR::DB library it is using sequence numbers. +A sequence number simply tells the application what will be the next ID +for insertion. Some of the mysql users are now shouting auto_increment. +Yes auto_increment, but we cant use this here because we plan to use +PostGreSQL or Other db's that dont have auto_increment so we are stuck to +using sequence numbers. + +3. What does this mean? +------------------------------- + +This means that if you dont run this tool after you have been manually adding +records, your database might be corrupted and PowerAdmin might be kicking +you back with a lot of errors. + +4. Ok, I got it, now what? +------------------------------- + +Put this file in your PowerAdmin directory. Login into PowerAdmin using the normal +system. Now go to the url where you put it and done, the sequence numbers are +updated. + +5. Future versions +------------------------------- + +In all versions higher than 1.1.2 this function will be automatically there for +administrators. + +6. Contact + +6.
