I have a table whose primary key is generated via a BEFORE INSERT trigger,
which calls a UDF.

In my application, I have a TIBOTable object for this table. When I try to
add a row by calling the TIBOTable's Insert() method, setting some fields
(not the primary key), and try to post it, I get an exception, saying that
the primary key field is a required field.

I'm assuming that it's IBO that is generating this error, not Firebird,
because I can otherwise insert rows (via DSQL) without setting the primary
key, because the trigger and UDF take care of that. I'm also assuming that
IBO thinks it's a required field because the field is the primary key and
marked NOT NULL, and it doesn't know about the trigger.

I don't have all of the table's fields explicitly defined in my app as
TField objects. I just have the TIBOTable object, and I let it figure out
the fields at runtime. I've found that if I DO explicitly add a TField
object for the primary key field, and set it's Required attribute to FALSE,
then it works.

I'm trying to have this TIBOTable work with more than one "version" of this
database, where this table's primary key may different, so I really want to
avoid hard-coding the fields with TField objects. How can I otherwise stop
IBO from making this a required field at the application level?
