Systemwide unique id means unique across all transactions.  Say, a newly 
inserted customer
record gets id 123, the next inserted invoice gets id 124, the next 
timesheet gets id 125,
so on and so forth.  As far as I can tell, addressbook only maintains id 
uniqueness within
individual type of transaction, ie no organisation record could have 
duplicate id, but a person
record can have the same id as an organization record.

One of the enhancement with CK-ERP is to use standardised table prefix.  
The default
prefix is "ck_".   But the system implementer could change it to 
whatever he/she prefers.
But since it is a system crashing modification if made post 
implementation, the prefix
is embedded in the script, ckapi.inc.php, and script modification is 
required to effect the change.

Cheers,
CK
