With a single-user system, you can query the GEN_ID(mygen, 0) -
but this isn't multiuser safe.

For a multi-user system, you'd better get the value first and use that
for your insert. That way, you have the value at the client side and
you can do anything you want with it (also useful for inserting stuff
into multiple tables with a referential constraint)
