Re: Inserting with a column that uses auto_increment

Ok, that seems to work, thanks. Another question:

How do you create two sql_create macros with the same name? (doesn't compile)

If I change the name of the sql_create_N(name,...) to something else it won't let me insert it into the database because it has a different table name that doesn't match.

Thanks,
Graham
