It is desirable to have IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL() function return last recently user 
specified value for BY DEFAULT identity columns.

         Key: DERBY-353
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-353
     Project: Derby
        Type: Bug
  Components: SQL  
    Versions: 10.1.0.0    
 Environment: Generic
    Reporter: Satheesh Bandaram


Derby was recently enhanced to support BY DEFAULT identity column. While the 
behavior of this feature is not documented yet, I think, it is desirable for 
IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL() function, that is used to retrieve last single statement 
insert value for identity column, to return user specified value for the 
default column.

For GENERATED ALWAYS identity columns, this issue doesn't apply, since users 
can't provide a value. But for GENERATED BY DEFAULT identity columns, users can 
optionally specify a value. IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL() function should return this 
value. Derby currently doesn't support this behavior.

ij> create table tauto ( i int generated by default as identity, j int, k int);
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
ij> insert into tauto (j,k) values (1,1);
1 row inserted/updated/deleted
ij> values identity_val_local();
1

1 row selected
ij> insert into tauto (j,k) values (1,1);
