Insert NULL into identity column with auth generated value
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-5460
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5460
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Environment: Windows 10 64bit, LibreOffice 5.3.0RC1
Reporter: Gerhard S
Could you support inserting rows where the value for the identity column is
passed as NULL in order to increment the value automatically?.
Example:
create table testtbl (
id integer generated by default as identity (START WITH 0) NOT NULL primary key,
name varchar(15)
);
insert into testtbl values (NULL, 'name1');
This only makes sense, if the column is NOT NULL, I guess. Other database
systems such as MySQL, HSQLDB, MariaDB allow that.
I am aware that the following already works, but using NULL is more flexible
and simpler than
insert into testtbl (name) values ('name1');
By the way, I am using Firebird in conjunction with LibreOffice 5.3.0RC1.
