Re: insertRow and updateable resultset

Joel,

the oid stuff in updateable result sets require that you do

select oid, * from foo

in order to work

So I think what you want to do is possible,

do the select as above, and do a updateNull("login_id")

then do the update row

However as I write this, I think you are correct the insertRow should
set the primary key to null to invoke the serial default value.
