Please report this to the bugzilla bug database for the dbqm. Sounds like
it should be saving the primary key.

As Jan mentioned this in nothing to worry about. Connections and Cursor
increment the same internal counter, so it you open a connection (id 1),
send a query (id 2), and open another connection the id will be 3.

Sounds like a bug in Valentina. They fixed this for OSX. If it crashes
when specifying an incorrect path to the database query builder, please
bug report it against the database query builder. In general if something
has not been resolved on the list please report it to ensure that it gets
fixed. One of the neat things about the new system, is that it allows us
to get a quick summary or all the outstanding issues, which is useful
both for the developer and the bug reporter.
