I think finding the right row is not the problem (we've discussed this
before), but rather finding which field belongs to which table.
I'm not sure whether all Database Providers can do this.

IMHO it would be really better to put the generation of SQL
statements altogether into a layer above GDA. We will
probably create such a beast in GNU Enterprise.
Of course that will be really free GPL software, so that
it is reusable by whoever wants it.
