No, only two times, send insert command and grab newly created id for that record. I am not sure is DBAs will be most happy when I create a 36 bites GUID instead of 4 bites Integer. I will have 4 bites transfer when I ask about new Id, and 4 bites for every single records when I want some recordset, but if I use GUID I will have 32 more bites to transfer for every record in the same recordset, isn't it?
