I have looked at both options in the ticket:
1. add a change_date to the query and do a minor patch
2. add  a max(..) query to getSOA

The first option would break existing setups if they have custom queries. This 
is of course a matter of documentation but I try to be careful in changing 
behaviour.

The second option will not break existing setups (but if someone has a custom 
database schema, he still won't get auto serial with it - which is fine). 
However, the verbatim copying of code from dnsbackend to gsqlbackend looks a 
bit verbose.

If you could look into making sure the second patch is not a dumb verbatim copy 
of code from dnsbackend, I'd be happy to consider it.

My apologies for taking so long to reply.

Kind regards,
Peter van Dijk
