OK, I see. That sequence insertion code isn't in the database-specific helper classes, but sounds like it'll have to move there (since some of the databases won't support CLOBs). You could have the abstract helper look at the tables to see which version to use, and that way you'd have backward compatibility with the existing databases too.
