I would like to use the Firebird DB with ofbiz.  I configured it to use
Firebird and when I ran the load-demo, a lot of errors flashed across the
screen, but still many things were created in the DB.  When I go to run it
and connect for the first time, I get the following error in the browser:

HTTP Status 500 - Could not get next sequenced ID for sequence name: Visitor

I have worked with Firebird for many years now and this isn't a
huge surprise to me.  Unlike the other databases I have encountered,
Firebird does *NOT* have the concept of an auto-sequence attribute for a
column.  If that is a desired feature (when isn't it?) you have to use
triggers and a unique Firebird feature called a generator.

I am wondering if there are more details out there on how to get ofbiz to
work with Firebird.
