0 never works for me,.. I just do a search to find the maximum id value
throught the table, add one to that.

that's what I've seen in my experience... limited as it is...

According to the PDB specs, the uniqueID field is a three-byte long
integer... which works out to be 2 ^ 8 ^ 3... or 16,777,216 is
the maximum value, give or take one..
