I'm wondering if it is possible to create new records for the table
without the pid field e.g. via list module. TCEmain tries to check
access to the page by pid - currently I don't know how this will work
without a proper pid. But possibly there's a way and I have to dig
deeper in DBAL.

The identifiert "data[...][<table>][<uid>][<field>]..." is split for
AJAX calls. Currently IRRE expects to have something set as pid and
fails if this is empty. I think this could be fixed with no bigger efforts.

$this->inlineFirstPid is set to the pid of the first parent record (the
one you select in the list module to edit).

Thus you would set the pid to a fixed value - but if the involved
records (parent, children, etc.) don't have pids at all, how should the
system automatically determine this value?

You can send me your extension via PM. Maybe it would also possible to
change the DBAL to use MySQL only, because I don't have PostgreSQL or
any other DBMS installed. Thanks in advance!
