Value of the primary key of the entity | |||||
The entity.getKey( ) method returns the primary key value of the entity.
Primary keys can be numbers (longint) or strings. You can "force" the returned primary key value to be a string, no matter the actual primary key type, by passing the dk key as string option in the mode parameter.

$employees:=ds.Employee.query("lastName=:1";"Smith")
