Hi, all I'm trying to use class::dbi through ODBC drivers to a M$ Access DB. However when I use the find_or_create function to insert a row to a table(the fields are quite simple as (id,name) where id is the primary key), without set the primary key, the code fails, saying that Can't get last insert id...

I trace the src code to the Class::DBI, it is actually from the following method: 

sub _auto_increment_value {
    my $self = shift;
    my $dbh  = $self->db_Main;

    # the DBI will provide a standard attribute soon, meanwhile...
    my $id = $dbh->{mysql_insertid}    # mysql
        || eval { $dbh->func('last_insert_rowid') };    # SQLite
    $self->_croak("Can't get last insert id") unless defined $id;
    return $id;
}

Does this limit the Class::DBI usage? For those DBD other than mysql, how should this be solved? Thanks in advance for any help.
