HANA support for JDBC - prepareStatement(String sql, int autoGeneratedKeys)

Hi,

Our application is connecting to a HANA database via Hibernate (we are using the SAPDBDialect).

I am able to read, update and delete records.

For create, we use a database sequence (running number) to get the id which will be used as the primary key of the new record being inserted.

<table name="TABLE1">

     <meta attribute="implements">Object1</meta>

        <primary-key>

            <generator class="sequence-identity">

                <param name="sequence">SD_DW_PK_SEQ</param>

            </generator>       

            <key-column name="ID"  type="java.lang.Long"/>

        </primary-key>

        <column name="SEQ" type="java.lang.Short"/>       

        <column name="MIN_RANGE" type="java.lang.Short"/>       

          ......

Above is the hibernate configuration that allows us to do this in ONE call with Oracle.

I know the call translates to the following JDBC call

prepareStatement(String sql, int autoGeneratedKeys)

With HANA, we get the following exception

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Retrieving auto generated keys is not supported.

It seems HANA JDBC driver does not support prepareStatement(String sql, int autoGeneratedKeys).

Can someone confirm? If so, is there a plan to fix this? 

We don't really want to do it in 2 separate calls/steps

     a) get the next number from running sequence

     b) insert the record with id and other values

Thanks!
