Back in 2008 I posted here that I am doing pretty much exactly the same thing as requested here: basically, I have a C enum that lists out all the zones and as new ones are created this gets extended.
While I appreciate what you're doing and why, I would prefer that the database allocated a unique persistent random number (four or five digits, or even six with a simple check code) to each zone. We discussed this a year ago, but from memory it got bogged down in proposals to make the numbers match alphabetical order of names or something like that. -- Clive D.W.
