Beginner here, so this should be easy. I created an RoR application that worked against and sqlite3 table. But the next step was for it to work against an Oracle table. So, I''ve changed the database.yml file to look at Oracle, and I''ve created the same table on Oracle as was on sqlite3. My table is called list_items desc list_items Name Null? Type ----------------------------------------- -------- ---------------------------- ID NOT NULL NUMBER NAME VARCHAR2(1000) COST NUMBER(38,5) QUANTITY NUMBER and I have created the sequence create sequence list_item_seq; But I''m getting the error - ORA-02289: sequence does not exist. I''ve tried other similar names to no avail. We do have the primary key plug in installed, so I add to the empty model the line set_primary_keys :id I then get a different error cannot insert NULL into ("GLOBE"."LIST_ITEMS"."ID"): INSERT INTO list_items (name, cost, quantity, id) VALUES (''fred''''s pizza'', 10.0, 10.0, NULL) Any clues as to where/what to look at? Shouldn''t it "just work"? Thanx for any help -Dave -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I ran into a similar problem. I created a new ROR app that had to work with an existing legacy database (Oracle). The db has a members table. The primary key was already named ''mem_id''. So, in my model I have: set_table_name "members" set_primary_key "mem_id" set_sequence_name "mem_id_seq" It works after I added set_sequence_name. I got the same Oracle ''sequence does not exist error'' before I added that. good luck. -emil On May 24, 4:33 pm, david salisbury <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Beginner here, so this should be easy. > > I created an RoR application that worked against and sqlite3 table.
