Integer Key

Generates unique integer values. By default, the generated values are within the range of the column’s data type.

You can also specify a range for the generated values. The source values must be within that range.

This generator cannot be used to transform negative numbers.

Characteristics

Consistency	Yes, can be made self-consistent.
Linking	No, cannot be linked.
Differential privacy	Yes, if consistency is not enabled.
Data-free	Yes, if consistency is not enabled.
Allowed for primary keys	Yes
Allowed for unique columns	Yes
Uses format-preserving encryption (FPE)	Yes
Privacy ranking	1 if not consistent 4 if consistent
Generator ID (for the API)	IntegerPkGenerator

How to configure

To configure the generator:

1. In the Minimum field, enter the minimum value to use for an output value. The minimum value cannot be larger than any of the values in the source data.

2. In the Maximum field, enter the maximum value to use for an output value. The maximum value cannot be smaller than any of the values in the source data.

3. Toggle the Consistency setting to indicate whether to make the column self-consistent. By default, consistency is disabled.

4. If Structural data encryption is enabled, then to use it for this column, toggle Use data encryption process to the on position.
