Hi Madhava,
You can generate "surrogate keys" using the t DBSCD components. Have a look at the reference guide to find scenarii using those components (cf. tMySQLSCD).
For basic primary key generation, you can also have a look at this thread ( http://www.talendforge.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=52159), showing how to use the Numeric.Sequence routine.
Regards,
Cyril.
