hi Walter
Try
INSERT INTO mytable(column2) VALUES (12345)
In other words, do not try to insert the column you want to be
auto-generated. The database engine will notice that you are inserting
only a subset of the columns, and SHOULD use the default values for
the missing columns, which would
I think this behaviour is consistent with the ANSI standard. The double

characters in the user name that are not letters numbers and underscores.
Maybe hyphens/minus are allowed also. But it's the dot that is annoying the

Quite apart from the software itself, an unrooted Android is tricky to use

In principal I like your idea of a Firebird powered archive of Firebird
related emails.
I don't have energy to contribute to that much as I like it though.

That eliminates my guess that Yahoo have designed in repetition

If we are losing emails as well as duplicating others then that surely
How much does that archive matter?
In my opinion if the archive matters at all needs to be kept in a backup
held offline by the owners or a designated mod.
To rely on the big cyber company to do backups is tempting but sooner or
later something will happen to one of them and groups without

Hi Mark.
You are pedantically correct but...
ALL storage in ALL modern computers is in binary.
When we declare a field as integer, char, octet, etc we are specifying two
things: how it is presented and what manipulation we can do on it.
To say an octet is in hex is no more wrong than to say
king about much.

Hi Chuck
I am a Firebird newbie so don't know if Fbd will let you do what you want.
Perhaps there is a fixed length raw byte field you could use, or perhaps a
blob?
If it does not, then a more efficient work around than the one yours would
be to store only seven bits to a byte, forcing the top
Thanks Kjell.
My preference is to type SQL in a CLI environment. It's good to know of the
free form SQL in FR but it's still not as fast (for me) as doing it in a
console / terminal. To "just open a query window" still looks to me like a
superfluous step.
But each to their own preference.

Thanks Mark,
Yes and I now I see it and don't know how I missed it before...
