I'm curious what the point is of nextId() in the mysql driver class for DB? Unless I'm (*really*) missing something, it's implementation is utterly worthless for INSERT queries into tables that already have data. What nextId() returns is the last_insert_id() for the sequence you create not the last_insert_id() for the table that you are actually inserting data to. So what's the point? And how are you supposed to get the last_insert_id() for the table you are inserting data to using the class? Or are you supposed to do that on your own? thnx, Chris
