I have some experience with Drupal (20+ installs/configurations) but have not really spent much time "under the hood" creating modules etc. untill recently.

I would like to create a new content type and would like to use a different id/ primary key, pid (player id) as opposed to nid or cid

Does anyone have experience with this kind of thing? Is it just a matter of writing my table that way, and designing my DB calls in to pull that content? Are there other factors that I should consider? API/compatability nightmares down the road?

Please keep in mind that I am self-taught, smart enough, but I have to wade through the lingo a bit sometimes :D

I, for one, didn't spot the pots until today :)

Can I ask why you're looking to create a new primary key? I've written a few modules that used custom primary keys, but they were usually for secondary data types, like votes or files, rather than full-fledged nodes...
