EuSQL allows any values for the key (as long as they are unique, of 
course).  The AUTONUMBER data type is unique, in that you don't supply 
the values.  EuSQL stores the last number used, so that as each record 
is created, a unique number is generated for that field, which can be 
the primary key or any other field.

I think I may be releasing a new version of EuSQL (and EDB) this weekend 
or early next week.  Nothing major for EuSQL--some optimizations and a 
couple of bug fixes.  About the same for EDB.
