Just wondering. I know what I use: a key table, and I'm not changing it any time soon, but I'm curious...

what I use depends entirely on what is needed for the particular case. The more secure it needs to be, the more I'll move toward an algorithmic but high entropy random generation (thus a key table) .. GUIDs I use for Windows programming interfaces
.. most often, auto-increment is used since a large amount of stuff only needs a simple sequential set of numbers.
