How does Zimbra generate and control IDs?

[Tony Lewis]

Well, my underlying question is, how can I migrate my Notebook from an existing 4.5.x Zimbra to a fresh 5.0.x install. I can't see a tool for exporting the Notebook via the open source edition.

I see the data in the database, and was thinking of simply inserting the same rows into my new instance. For my purposes, revision history is not important, nor is any Wiki-ish links between pages.

So, unless I'm barking up the wrong tree, I need to correctly generate new IDs in my destination Zimbra instance, and insert rows into the table using those IDs.

So, what's the "right" way to get the next-up ID?

Are you migrating to a new server ? Why not install the same version on the other server and then upgrade to ZCS 5 ?

Because the first was under vserver, and I had to slice and dice, replacing lost of 127.0.0.1, and I wanted to get away from that.

Besides, I'd still have to go through this migration stuff
