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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
