[Phpwebsite-developers] PEAR DB and auto_increment

[Don S. <do...@se...>]

In the install.sql for core and some modules (gallery I've seen), you have 
create table statements that use "auto_increment" to define a field as 
sequential.

Isn't auto_increment a mysql function and not standard across databases?  
I don't see it in postgres and I'm pretty sure it won't fly in Oracle.

I want to use PEAR for database abstraction but using mysql-specific 
syntax kind of defeats the purpose.

Am I mistaken?
