Blast, I think you've cracked it :( (Thanks to zengargoyle, incidentally - I had already thought of that solution, and it didn't work, but it was a good idea ;)

Looking back at my previous code that pulls back @@identity (there's not all that much), I've realised that one consistent feature is that I don't use placeholders, so I think I've probably discovered this problem in the past and either got around it subconciously, or just forgotton the doc. I'm fairly sure I hadn't read that before, though.

I guess the thing to do will be to re-write _insert_row() completely so that it generates the SQL without a placeholder syntax, which won't be too bad, but has implications in terms of inheritance that I haven't quite got my brane around yet. I think it should be okay, but it probably needs warning signs on it :/ Thanks very much though!

(This also explains neatly why Class::DBI wouldn't support this for Sybase, even though the docs suggest it works - I might send an email to the author to make it clearer, because I wouldn't have thought to look to DBD::Sybase for the 'bug')
