I hadn't thought of an environmental variable; that sounds like the best way. Thanks!

My only problem with AnyData (or SQLite, or anything else) is that I depend on a MySQL-specific function for autoincrementing primary keys. I just don't want to spend the mental energy hacking around that until I've done more work on features that people are asking for.

But that's probably false laziness. I haven't done a realistic time assessment and I need to.

In the "small world" department, Jeff Zucker was just yesterday bemoaning the fact that he hasn't had time to implement autoincrement keys in AnyData.
