Yes, existing applications might be involved. But i think, this is a
very rare situation. But if someone use an insertstatement with a
functioncall, but the function do NOT use nextval, and he use lastval to
estimate the last inserted value he has no problems. But if then someone
change the function so the function use nextval then the application
crashes. So i think it is much more better to change the behavior,
because this is what i expect. And i think, this is what others
expect too.
