Hi Markus,
Perhaps i missed it, can u explain why you feel you need to fake this?
If the Database does not support SEQUENCE, i would not fake it.
Having support for IDENTITY is enough.
Once/IF ASA implements SEQUENCE then it is worth adding to ASA support
in Toplink Essentials. Until then i would avoid adding this feature.
