DB2 also has something like this. I think its easy enough to write an
IDGenerator to take advantage of this style of key generator (ditto
oracle sequences, etc). Its the Identity column style that needs special
support.

P.S. If anyone wants to write an IDGenerator for Oracle sequences or
whatever, it would be a very worthwhile feature,

how can i replicate this, Doug?
