Subject: [ODBC] Sequence query

Hi !

I need to ask for the following secuence number for a field.
I am connecting PostgreSQL with an ODBC Driver and with ADO.
If i ask for the value of the field after updating the recordset, i get it
is null (and it can't be), so i read how to ask for information about
sequences and i founded that "SELECT * FROM objetos_ID_seq" would be ok, but
i got an error: "The Relation 'objetos_Id_seq' does not exist".

Try:

SELECT * FROM "objetos_ID_seq"

Without the quotes, the name will be treated as lowercase.

The same query works fine in cygwin interface.

I must admit, that surprises me.

What's wrong ? Is it the query or the Driver doesn't really admit this kind
of queries ?

Unquoted object names are always shifted to lowercase by the backend (not
the ODBC driver).

HTH, regards, Dave.
