[odb-users] lastval as primary key of the newly inserted entity returns wrong value

It looks like the odb trying to use lastval posgresql function call
(odb\pgsql\statement.cxx, l. 485) to obtain the primary key value
of the newly inserted entity when using id with auto pragma.

In case of any triggers involved into entity insertion (for example audit
triggers which can insert an audit record in different table(s)) and
accessing another (or even the same sequence used to generate
primary key) the odb behaviour can lead to very big problem. It
returns and assign to the persistent object wrong id.

The only workaround in the current version (1.6.0) - do not use the
auto pragma with id column if you have the triggers.
