    <p>I am trying to make a method for a class that will automatically insert a record into a table. The problem is that I need to make the code work for mysql, mssql, postgresql, oracle, and sqlite. </p> <p>The only solutions I can think of are:</p> <ol> <li><p>Create my own primary key values, but this seems very risky as it may be hard to come up with a fail-safe solution to generate the primary key values.</p></li> <li><p>Create code that will switch the method used based on the rdbms driver being used, but this seems sloppy and I would like to use an SQL standards compliant way if possible.</p></li> </ol> <p><strong>How can I create this <code>INSERT</code> statement to work accross all of these rdbms if they all use different methods for auto incrementing a primary key field?</strong></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
