Well, AFAIK it is not a good idea to use IDs again, as by doing this You
have to be absolutely sure the application You run does not save some data
separately (login data, history and so on) ...
As You write the application to acces Your database it should not be of
that interest, but what if Your collegue (or the customer) decides to
write a new frontend?
But if You delete a row froma table, the following rows should move one
up, shouldn't they?

Saluti!
