Re: [Tracker] Does tracker support uniquie object-id across databases

[Adrien Bustany <abustany gnome org>]

I'm not totally sure I understand your message... Do you need 32 bit
integers, or are you saying that Tracker's uuids are not robust enough
?
Tracker urn are of the form
"urn:uuid:3a5fa030-02b7-79e8-1b2c-7465a946871a",
which is more than 32 bits if I'm right. If you need a 32 bit integer
identifier, then you can add a predicate to the resources you need to
share, with the 32 bit integer inside.

Cheers

Adrien
