Best practice creating a new record from Rust

[szabgab]

I would like to add a record with a unique id generated by SurrealDB. So not an id like joe, but one that is generated by Id::ulid or some other tool in SurrealDB.

I found a number of options, neither of them seem to be "perfect". I was wondering what would be the "best practice"

• Use a struct that does not have and id field and let the database assign one. Use another struct with the same fields and the id field to select the data.
• Use a single struct where the id field is Option. Let the database generate the RecordId.
• Use a single struct that has an id field and generate the id before calling create.
• Use a query with a CREATE statement including an Id we generated previously. Use a struct to select.
• Use q query with a CREATE statement without and id field. Use a struct to select.
