I have one question that you might know the answer to off the top of 
your head.

The doco says somewhere that hibernate will do create's before delete's. 
If I use a primary key that's not a synthesised "oid" but a real-world 
attribute (e.g. part-number), as in the case of a legacy DB table 
structure, I get problems when I try to delete one object and then 
re-insert another object with that same primary key value.

Is this still the case? I know I can split it over two transactions, but 
that's not always possible or desirable.

Thanks, PaulS.
