What I am trying to say:

1) GNUmed stores a prescription received from FreeDiams

2) FreeDiams is upgraded/re-installed/whatever

        AND/OR

   the GNUmed database is transferred to another server
   or a backup is restored

3) GNUmed exports the stored prescription and hands it back
   to FreeDiams for further processing (say, creating a
   followup prescription)

What is going to happen with the drugs ?  Are the FreeDiams
UIDs stable across this (not at all unlikely) scenario ?

(Previously this would work, because the UIDs were
 real-world values, independent of any FreeDiams
 implementation details.)

Thanks,
Karsten
