I was wondering if this statement was still supported in 7.0.x versions of pgSQL. I upgraded from a 6.x version where say: insert into events (eid,name) values (max(eid)+1,'server down'); works but not in the 7.x variants. I know that I could use the serial type for that column but in the interest not having to rewrite the code (or dump, drop and recreate the tables/data), I wanted to know if there was a more stand way to incrementing a field automatically that would be fairly portable. Any help would be appreciated. Keith Perry VCSN Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://vcsn.com
