I am in the middle of removing the "named parameter" feature of DAS command and notice that we currently allow a special convenience name to allow a client to retrieve a database generated ID from a low-level insert command like this:

       DAS das = DAS.FACTORY.createDAS(getConnection());
Command insert = das.createCommand("insert into COMPANY (NAME) values (?)"); insert.setParameter(1, "AAA Rental");
       insert.execute();
       Integer key = (Integer) insert.getParameter("generated_key");

I expect that clients will typically not execute a low level insert like this. Instead, I expect them to pass a modified graph to the DAS and the DAS will generate and execute a set of insert statements. Any database-generated IDs will be propagated back to the provided data graph and the client can access them there.

That said, I think this is a nice low-level feature so I hate to get rid of it. But, I am removing named parameter access. I suppose I could provide a special convenience parameter index to serve the same purpose. Something like:

       Integer key = (Integer) insert.getParameter(DAS.GENERATED_KEY);

That would work but seems a bit cheesy ... maybe no cheesier than the special name. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

--Kevin
