Subject: Use of system tables for identity columns
Regarding the new identity column feature in Firebird 3 alpha:
The new fields rdb$generator_name and rdb$identity_type are now defined in
rdb$relation_fields.
I think it would be more consistent if they were stored in rdb$fields (like eg.
rdb$computed_source).
rdb$relation_fields should only be used for properties that can be overriden on
field level from a domain definition, like default value (rdb$default_source)
or not null (rdb$null_flag).
But for rdb$generator_name and rdb$identity_type this is not the case, like it
is not the case for computed by (rdb$computed_source).
Do you agree?
Kind regards,
Robert.
