I can't figure out how I could adapt the pk_col function on this page http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/NamingConventions to handle the Sequence definition needed for e.g. Firebird.

At the point when Column is instantiated I don't have access to "table.name" and I can't figure it out either how to do it in on_table_attach.

Would appreciate any tips on this.
Did a bit more searching and trying and came up with this:

def pk_col(cls, **kw):
    """Produce a primary key column for a table.

    e.g.::

        pk_col()

    is equivalent to::

        Column("id", sa.BigInteger,
                     doc = "Primary key column for <tablename>",
                     primary_key=True,
                     sequence=sa.Sequence('<tablename>_id')
              )

    """
    kw['primary_key'] = True
c = sa.Column(sa.BigInteger(), sa.Sequence('seq_%s_%s' % (cls.__tablename__,
                                               dbg.pkId)), **kw)

    @sa.event.listens_for(c, "before_parent_attach")
    def on_table_attach(column, table):
        column.name = column.key = dbg.pkId
        column.doc = "Primary key column for %r" % table.name

    c._creation_order = 0 # forces it to the top when using declarative
    return c

I.e. pass "cls" in so I can get to __tablename__.

Is this an o.k. way of doing it or is there a better/cleaner way?
