Insert row with autoincrement pk column....

[padhu vinirs]

I have a table in MySQL with columns "id" and "symbol". The "id" column is set to autoincrement from 1000. I have an entity bean with a create(String symbol) which I assume will do a insert with only the "symbol" value, but it fails with the error that the id needs to be set. How do I take advantage of the table's autoincrement pk column ???   Thanks   -- padhu
