Subject insert statement
Author kaczy27
for some reason I expected this won't work, but I'd like to hear
your opinion

I have a table that is a linking table in a many-to-many relation

all it is needed there is an unique id so I created a table (along
with generator and trigger)

CREATE GENERATOR GEN_OBIEKTY_ID;
CREATE TABLE OBIEKTY (
ID INTEGER NOT NULL
);
/* Primary Key: PK_OBIEKTY */
ALTER TABLE OBIEKTY ADD CONSTRAINT PK_OBIEKTY PRIMARY KEY (ID);
/* Trigger: OBIEKTY_BI */
CREATE TRIGGER OBIEKTY_BI FOR OBIEKTY
ACTIVE BEFORE INSERT POSITION 0
AS
BEGIN
IF (NEW.ID IS NULL) THEN
NEW.ID = GEN_ID(GEN_OBIEKTY_ID,1);
END

I want to enter new record into this table so I tried all of the
below:
insert into obiekty () values ();
insert into obiekty values;
insert into obiekty; <- that would be particulary nice

the statement
insert into obiekty (id) values(null);
worked, but on all other occassion I could skip the ID column

what is suggested by SQL92 - can I ommit autoincremented fields in
queries?
