ATG - How to override RQL for insert statements - repository

Question

I need to insert records to an Oracle DB table that already has records in it by using the table's sequence.
I tried using RQL which creates an auto-generated id for the primary key but sometimes those generated ids already exist in the database and as a result, a constraint violation error is thrown.
ATG documentation provides an alternative named Overriding RQL-Generated SQL but I didn't manage to make it work for insert statements.
GSARepository repo =
(GSARepository)request.resolveName("/examples/TestRepository");
RepositoryView view = repo.getView("canard");
Object params[] = new Object[4];
params[0] = new Integer (25);
params[1] = new Integer (75);
params[2] = "french";
params[3] = "greek";
Builder builder = (Builder)view.getQueryBuilder();
String str = "SELECT * FROM usr_tbl WHERE (age_col > 0 AND age_col < 1
AND EXISTS (SELECT * from subjects_tbl where id = usr_tbl.id AND subject
IN (2, 3)))";
RepositoryItem[] items =
view.executeQuery (builder.createSqlPassthroughQuery(str, params));
Is there any way to use table's sequence for insert statements via ATG Repository API?

Answer 1

Eventually, I did not manage to make it work but I found the following solution.
I retrieved the sequence number as below and then used it in the RQL insert statement.
RepositoryView view = getRestServiceDetailsRepository().getView("wsLog");
String sql = "select log_seq.nextval from dual";
Object[] params = {};
Builder builder = (Builder) view.getQueryBuilder();
Query query = builder.createSqlPassthroughQuery(sql, params);
RepositoryItem[] items = view.executeQuery(query);
if (items != null && items.length > 0) {
items[0].getRepositoryId();
}
