ugh, any ideas how I can obtain the next sequence value using sqldb

I have never used sequence values before, and while I am googling I
only found either answers which are specific for a particular
framework (java, djambo, whatever) or people claiming that it should
generate the index automatically! o.O Which clearly it is not doing...
I couldn't yet get a generic answer using SQL supported by Postgres,
or whatever thing which I could reuse in sqldb.

Just a use a TSQLQuery:

With TSQLQuery.Create(Self) do
  try
    Database:=MyDatabase;
    Transaction:=MyTransaction;
    // Replace sequencename with the correct name of the sequence
    SQL.Text:='SELECT nextval(''sequencename'')';
    Open;
    TheNewID:=(Fields[0] as TLargeIntField).AsLargeInt;
    close;
  finally
    free;
  end;

That's it.

Michael.
