Hi!

I'm not so familar with PGSQL, but did you enable its use of automatic sequences? There must be a trigger for pgsql to do that.

HTH,

I'm not sure what automatic sequences are? How one enables those?

When new table is created and has a column and it's type is serial the database creates the sequnce automatically.

Hi!

Sadly I don't know myself I just know that PGSQL has an option for those "oid" parameters. Maybe you can ask in a PGSQL specific forum?

Somehow pgsql supports autoincrement keys (aka sequences), and usually pgsql has this option enabled...?!
