David, I don't know the answer, but this is how i
would troubleshoot...

what happens when you try...

1. select currval('library.items_itemid_seq');

2. select currval('library.items_itemid_seq');

3. select currval('library.items_itemid_seq') as
NextItemID;

4. select currval('items_itemid_seq') as NextItemID;

do any of these work? do any break?

good luck.
