That is *not* the point, the point is that there seems to be habit to remove functionality.
As far as I can see, the preCommit() method was never part of the insert() method of the support classes.
I checke dout the 1.1 version of the MMInformix42Node.java or MMSQL92Node.java classes and the insert method in that code does not call preCommit().
I just cannot find references where preCommit() was part of the database insert code. Maybe it never was part of the old classes but was added to the vpro Informix class at some time?
At any rate, the current 'event' methods (insertDone, preEdit, preCommit) are a bit strange.
i.e. it is not clear to me why the preCommit() is called from the database layer, and not from the commit() method in MMObjectBuilder.
I think we should strive to get a fixed set of event methods (or drop them all and just override commit/insert) and use them consistently.
