I have a very large application and didn't account for replication so
I want to fit this into it now with the least pain as possible.
Obviously this might not be possible. I thought maybe the combined
numeric (13,2) would accomplish this with the least amount of pain
having to re-work all of the joins in the 80-100 queries in my app.

I was planing to add the DBID in addition though. What sort of
issues might I have with the numeric field?

Thanks,

Matt
