Again, I would leave the Rails ID intact to not invalidate the conventions
set forth and create
others fields that are needed for your application.  The ID used by Rails is
used as record
identifier and shouldn''t be used for other purposes like an actual
product
ID, order ID, and so on.

Good luck,
