   --  If Quote is False, Value is returned as is (suitable for prepared
   --  queries). Otherwise, Value is surrounded by quote characters, and every
   --  special character in Value are also protected.

   function Field_Type_Autoincrement
     (Self : Formatter) return String is abstract;
   --  Return the SQL type to use for auto-incremented fields.
   --  Such a field is always a primary key, so this information is also
