Introduction

ID Generator Tool allows one to increase value stored in Environment Variable by one. It is very often used to generate/keep a running number (e.g. application reference number).


You will only need to do this if you are using MySQL, as other databases already default to "READ-COMMITTED".

Run following queries in MySQL.

SET GLOBAL tx_isolation='READ-COMMITTED';
SET SESSION tx_isolation='READ-COMMITTED';


You will also need to set the following in your my.cnf/my.ini file.
[mysqld]
transaction-isolation = READ-COMMITTED
