Well but I think if MDB/Metabase creates this data then it should be possible to remove it through MDB/Metabase. Since we can't sensibly do it automatically I think it should be at least be possible to do it manually. Of course this adds a meaningless method for the rest of the drivers. In order to not pollute Common.php with methods like that I might go the route of just adding it to postgresql and users will then have to check for the methods existence if they want to use this functionality yet use the same code on a different DB. Obviously this is ugly, but I think this is better than not having the functionality in MDB/Metabase. Atleast with MDB I also want to be a nice OO API to a specific database. That is why I am also considering adding autoincrement functionality. In return I am planning to remove a lot of redundant methods in MDB, so overall the MDB API should get leaner. Regards, Lukas
