I'm making no comment on the advisability of doing this, but I have had

to do similar things when adding a new generator to an existing table.

One thing I have tried is

Set Generator to 0

Select Gen_ID(GEN_Name,(Select max(ID) from TABLE)) from rdb$Database

The select statement forces the update of the generator value by Max(ID)

from table. RDB$Database is used because it has one record and I only

want to increment the generator once by max(ID)
