    hello
    i have to say that i'm a newaby in delphi, and i found out about you library.
    i have some question:
      do you think that it would be usefull introduction of a new method for connection object, that have to retrive next value for a sequence?
    ex: for postgres
        SELECT NEXTVAL('%s');
    where s is the name of the sequence

    maybe a function that return last insert id it would be great.
    or maybe is other aproach that i'm missing.

    thanks,
    bogdan

      This expression is dependent from type DBMS. Others DBMS can have other syntax or absolutely other approach for work with sequences.

      i'm sure of that.
      but when i'm connecting to informix for example 'application' load informix odbc driver. so basicly i know what DBMS is behind. it's tru that approach are diffrent, but i think that in this way application may become DBMS independent. this way dbxodbc will act as a database abstraction layer.
      or maybe i'm wrong.
      i've come from php, i there was something like adodb and peardb library.
      maybe is other approach.
      thanks
