You are (as always) right, the record.store() functionality is non-SQL to start with.
I just checked the (old) javadoc and i must admit that UpdatableRecord's store() doc did explain this implicitly. The new description is much better! I was looking for a way to easily "clone" an existing record last week but i couldn't find it and thought it was impossible, but it seems i have now accidentally found out how to do it :) About the dog - thanks :) The poor animal is having surgery for his luxating patella tomorrow and he will have to stay in a cage for about 6 weeks :(
