Unfortunatelly, it is impossible. The problem you have encountered is
just a first one from a long thread. Next one is much worse - your
application will be unable to identify just inserted record because
generated value is not reported to client side automatically (in
contrast with Access).

No. And I (as Delphi programmer with big experience) would recommend
not to do it by any price. Static fields definitions cause more troubles
that bring advantages.

Yes, it was.
