Hi Guys, I''m completely stumped with this one! I''ve included ActiveRecord::Base.set_sequence_name in my environment.rb, and in my user.rb I''ve placed the following code: class Usertbl < ActiveRecord::Base set_primary_key "user_id" set_sequence_name "seq_user_mytable" validates_uniqueness_of :userpassword, :username, :scope => :user_id end From http://localhost:3000/usertbl/new I then attempt to enter a new a record and receive the following error message: RuntimeError: ERROR C23502 Mnull value in column "user_id" violates not-null constraint FexecMain.c L1795 RExecConstraints: INSERT INTO usertbl Oh my head hurts!! -- Regards Andrew On 01/03/07, Andrew Madu < andrewmadu-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Hi Dave, > my apologies for contacting you off list but i''m having a spot of bother > with postgreSQL sequence setup in rails.

Drkae >In MySQL that is traditionally how you tell the RDBMS to use the auto_increment to generate the value. Postgres correctly doesn''t allow that (since you might actually try to set a field to NULL accidentally in which case an error is expected). The portable (and correct) way to do it is to use the DEFAULT keyword like this: INSERT INTO some_table (id_field) VALUES (DEFAULT); I just tested on MySQL 5.0.32 and that syntax works fine. -- Russ. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don''t forget to increase your free space map settings
