Its faster to write, to be sure, but seems like its going to establish a
new connection for every creation event.  If those events are a small
percentage of overall operations, it wouldn't be a problem, but I'm
envisioning a system that has large numbers of creations, so this would be
pretty expensive.

Anyone else have ideas on getting a serial type (preferably from
Postgresql) to work with in CMP to automatically create the PK for the
bean?

| I couldn't get the serial type to work with CMP either.  We added a function 
like the following in each of our entity beans to use automatically generated i
d's from postgres (mytable_id_seq is a SEQUENCE):
| 
|       private Integer _getNewID()
|               throws SQLException
|       {
|               Connection conn=_dsource_.getConnection();
|               String sql="select nextval('mytable_id_seq')";
|               Statement stmt=conn.createStatement();
|               ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery(sql);
|               if(!rs.next())
|                       throw new SQLException("Unable to get next sequence.");
|               Integer newid=new Integer(rs.getInt(1));
|               stmt.close();
|               conn.close();
|               return newid;
|       }
| 
| I know this isn't an ideal solution, but it is faster than two beans..
