Grid control data updates without a database IDENTIT column?

Hi,

I’m working with an ESRI database and would like to use a DHTMLX grid control to maintain some data within it.

ESRI tells me that its database tables do not support IDENTITY columns/autonumbering because of ESRI’s versioning features (here’s some additional information about that: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/36954/how-to-autonumber-fields-in-versioned-arcgis-10-sde).

However, I understand that the DHTMLX grid control requires an IDENTITY column in the database table it’s updating. Is it possible to use the grid control without a corresponding IDENTITY column? If so, how, please? Thank you!
