Hello, 

I've tried what is described in this howto below (SAPDB 7.4.03.25). But for
me it doesn't work or do I have a misunderstanding.
I have some tables where I have a line like this:
i.e. definition of table Test1:
<snip>
"<column name>"               Integer    NOT NULL    DEFAULT SERIAL (1)
</snip>
The number generator works. But if I do a "Select Test1.Currval from test1"
I get error -2029 ("Currval is not yet defined."). So I made a "Select
Test1.Nextval from test", then I get error -4020 ("Unknown sequence name").
So I don't get the current value back.

Maybe it has something to do with my definition? 

Thanks in advance
Peter
