I do not think there is be an addition for this function. This is a mysql-mysql specific function, and, not portable, imho, even to avoid its use (except in rare specific cases). You may try to look at sequences, which are available in PEAR::DB as well as in PEAR::MDB, sequences do exactly the same and are safely portable. hth pierre
