 ### ID Generation
 
-Better Auth by default will generate unique IDs for users, sessions, and other entities. If you want to customize how IDs are generated, you can configure this in the `advanced.database.generateId` option in your auth config.
+Better Auth by default will generate unique IDs for users, sessions, and other entities. You can customize ID generation behavior using the `advanced.database.generateId` option or `advanced.database.useNumberId`.
 
-You can also disable ID generation by setting the `advanced.database.generateId` option to `false`. This will assume your database will generate the ID automatically.
+#### Option 1: Let Database Generate IDs
 
-**Example: Automatic Database IDs**
+Setting `generateId` to `false` disables ID generation globally, letting your database handle all ID generation:

+#### Option 2: Custom ID Generation Function
+
+Use a function to generate IDs. You can return `false` or `undefined` from the function to let the database generate the ID for specific models:
+
+```ts title="auth.ts"
+import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
+import { db } from "./db";

+### Mixed ID Types
+
+If you need different ID types across tables (e.g., integer IDs for users, UUID strings for sessions/accounts/verification), use a `generateId` function instead of `useNumberId`.
+
+<Callout type="warn">
+  **Do NOT use `useNumberId` when mixing ID types**. The `useNumberId` option is global and affects all tables. It will disable internal ID generation and expect all IDs to be numbers.

+**Example: Integer IDs for Users, UUIDs for Other Tables**
+
+```ts title="auth.ts"
+import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
+import { db } from "./db";
+
+export const auth = betterAuth({
+  database: db,
+  user: {

+
+This configuration allows you to:
+- Use database auto-increment (serial, auto_increment, etc.) for the users table
+- Generate UUIDs for all other tables (session, account, verification)
+- Maintain compatibility with existing schemas that use different ID types

 #### Throwing Errors
 
 If you want to stop the database hook from proceeding, you can throw errors using the `APIError` class imported from `better-auth/api`.
