Is there a way to use autoincrement in axiom ? I need a property in my model that reflects the last  row id after every insert operation.

There isn't currently any way to have an autoincrement attribute. However, the storeID attribute is unique across every Item in a Store; perhaps this is sufficient for your purposes?

Also, is it safe to use non-db variables in axiom model ? something like

class test1(Item):   name = attributes.text()

  surname = "my non db variable"

The interpretor does throw an error but that can be overcome by using self.__dict__['surname'] = "non db" . Just wanted to know if this is recommended or not

You should declare the attribute like this: surname = attributes.inmemory() Axiom will then allow you to set the attribute, which will not be persisted in the database. -- mithrandi, i Ainil en-Balandor, a faer Ambar
