When you open the table design for a embedded HSQLDB database, and have a
"Integer" column with "Auto increment" = "Yes", then there is a field
"Auto-increment statement", which is prefilled with "IDENTITY".

Technically, this is fine and correct.

>From a user experience point of view, this is
- disturbing: unexperienced users don't know what it is, and will be confused 
by it
- useless: any other value than IDENTITY doesn't work, anyway

I suggest to remove this field in the table design, if and only if the
database/type already prescribes which information would appear there.
Please also update the specifiction at
http://dba.openoffice.org/specifications/AutoIncrementValues.html then :)
