To stablish an ID
I Thank its important to have an Id auto increment field

How about an auto generated unique field like a GUID. This eliminates the issue of incremental integers across devices.
One simple possibility is taking the decimal value of the current date and time (to the second) and shift the decimal 5 places to the right. The resulting long would be "unique enough" to handle most situations. There are certainly other schemes.
MobiDB could include this type of auto-generated unique as part of their field types. It would only update at record creation time.

I agree, an auto-increment field is definitely needed. If not what kind of work around would you suggest?

Conflicts may occur when auto-increment is implemented (multiple users synching to a single db).

I am brand new to Mobi DB, but have a lot of other database experience.
Firstly, thank you for an easy, intuitive App. It tick all the boxes bar oneYes, you've guessed it -an auto ID field, to allow creation of unique records. This means that the data, when exported into other programmes, is much more usable. If there are no plans to do this - is there a workaround which you can suggest?.

So this suggestion was started in 2016 and it's now 2020 and still no auto increment? Glad I'm on the trial period for the moment.

First db program Ive seen without that standard feature. I wouldn't have bought it had I known that was missing. Look at Memento integers... Auto, last value, input, value range, type of value (volume, Mass, Frequency, distance etc) Mobi needs more that font appearence.

I faintly remember having to code a DIY auto increment ID in MS Access 1.0. Nowadays it's a built in field type in most relational DBMS software.
Having this as a feature in MobiDB would be awesome.

Auto Id (auto increment field) same as "column1", "column2" at design model. For example we can find my data using this auto Id, instead of name or email. Is more easy to find a single data.

I can't imagine a DB without an iD field: integer, double, not reusable

Thats true, auto ID it's very important for the database.

A unique auto-generated ID is essential for a database.

same here. Lack of this is making me look at other software unfortunately.
IS there nay way it can be calculated on the fly. I've tried but no success -
