Hi Tom,

Completly forgot about that possibility, thanks a lot :)
What still puzzles me is how to get the sequence value applied.
MySQL's auto_increment simply ignores whatever value is supplied to
it, however postgres seems to insert the value instead of the next
sequence value, if one is supplied:
> CREATE TABLE custtype (key SERIAL PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, name VARCHAR(127) NOT NULL, short VARCHAR(4));
> ALTER SEQUENCE custtype_key_seq START WITH 10000;");
> INSERT INTO custtype VALUES(0, 'test', 'ta');
>
> key | name | short
> -----+----------------+-------
> 0 | test | ta
Of course, under normal circumstances it would be no problem to insert
a nextval() however I am using an updateable JDBC ResultSet.
Any idea how I can force the sequence's nextval() value into the key
column using ResultSets?
Thank you in advance, Clemens
