Hello,

I'm writing a standalone application and I thought using Entity Framework to store my data.

At the moment the application is small so I can use a local database file to get started.

The thing is that the local database file doesn't have the ability to auto generate integer primary keys as SQL Server does.

Any suggestions how to manage primary keys for entities in a local database file that will be compatible with SQL Server in the future?

Thanks, Ronny
