[hibernate-dev] [ORM] save vs persist for POST_INSERT generators

Hi Steve, I've got a quick question. I sort of remember that we were delaying `persist()` operations - until flush I suppose. This is something we could not do to `save()` because `persist()` does not force us to return the id while save does. I am in particular considering the case where the generator is of type POST_INSERT like a column identifier. While browsing the code I could not spot any different between the handing of a save event and a persist event and the actual SQL executoin seems to happen duing the `persist()` call as opposed to `flush()`. Is it that I have dreamt it all? Or did we used to do that but not anymore? Emmanuel
