jdbc metadata -- auto increment information bug

Hi:

The JDBC DaatabaseMetaData class has a getColumns()
method. This 
returns meta data about a column. This is useful when
using a O/R tool 
to generate java classes that encapsulate table/column
info.

So here is the problem. We need to know if a column is
auto-increment.

Previous drivers returned this info via the "REMARKS"
field in the
getColumns() method. However, the drivers do not
return ANY information at all in the remarks field for
auto-increment columns
(it is empty), so now there is no way to know if a
column is auto increment or not.

I've tried this with both the latest 3.x and 5.x
drivers and have the
same problem. I am running this against a 5.0.24
database.

Best regards,
--j
