I completely agree with you. Tim Bunce brought up this same issue on the old
Class::DBI mailing, and I thought he had convinced Tony Bowden to change the
_auto_increment_value code to use DBI's last_insert_id, but it appears Tony
Bowden never implemnted the change.

Here's what I would suggest: File a Class::DBI bug report at
http://rt.cpan.org/ and attach a patch against Class::DBI v3.0.12 that
changes _auto_increment_value to use DBI's last_insert_id. You might want to
also include your test case because Tony loves test cases, but the CDBI test
suite doesn't run on PostgreSQL, so I don't know that it will be all that
useful to Tony. It will still give weight to your bug report, however.

Hope this helps,
Ed
