Trouble inserting data after migrate database from SQLite to My SQL

Hi all,

I'm developing a little web application (a remote lab that works with
Catalyst+LabView). Until now I was using SQLite, but due to new
requirements I've had to migrate the database.

I've created a new model:
perl script/ilabrs_create.pl model DB DBIC::Schema ilabrs::Schema
create=static components=TimeStamp,EncodedColumn dbi:mysql:ilabrs

and then, after restarting the server all seemed to work. Actually,
list, edit and erase from the database is working fine. But when I want
to add data, it doesn't work.

The problem appears when an id it's not provided. If I'm not wrong,
"my $exp = $c->model('DB::Activitats')-> find_or_new({id=> $id});"
should solve that. But: "$c->log->debug("Experiment ID:".$exp->id);",
prints nothing.

I'm absolutely clueless. I've tried to split de edit function in two:
-one to actually edit (my $exp = $c->model('DB::Activitats')->
find({id=> $id});) which still works properly.

-and a second one to add (my $exp = $c->model('DB::Activitats')->
new({});) which doesn't because $exp->id is empty and
$exp->update_or_insert;
cause an exception:

DBI Exception: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Column 'id' cannot be
null...

Any suggestion, idea, clue... will be welcome.

Thanks,

Jordi

Is your 'id' set to auto-increment??? What data type is it? I usually
set the 'id' to auto-increment, and set it as an integer. I would also
recommend using DBIC_TRACE=1 from the command line if possible to get a
better description of the actual problem.

This is a DBIC question, as such the answer is clearly found in the DBIC
manual:
http://search.cpan.org/~ribasushi/DBIx-Class-0.08112/lib/DBIx/Class/ResultSet.pm#find_or_new

To summarize, ->new or ->find_or_new will not create a record in the
database (and as such, no id is available). If you want to create a record,
triggering the auto_increment, then you must use create or a subsequent
->insert after a ->new call.

Also of note, DBIx::Class has its own mailing list that you should consider
subscribing to.

Thanks,
-Jay

First of all, my apologies I've changed the subject of my previous
message and due to that, now it's not placed where it have to be.

With your permission (I wish), I copy & paste my answer to Steve:

"> Is your 'id' set to auto-increment???
Yes, it is.

> What data type is it? I usually

I also do it.

Thank you, very much. DBIC_TRACE=1 have provided me the following error:
"No _dbh_last_insert_id() method found in DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI.
Since the method of obtaining the autoincrement id of the last insert
operation varies greatly between different databases, this method must
be individually implemented for every storage class."

I've made a quick search, and I've found:
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=40265#txn-566706

I've upgraded my version of DBIx::Class and it's all working again.

Cheers

Jordi"

You're right Jay, it was a DBIx::Class issue. Thank you, for answering.

Jordi
