Hi All, I''m wrestle with postgres database and rails. Finally it''s working but i need some explanation : So : I have a sequencer : CREATE SEQUENCE players_id_seq INCREMENT 1 MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 9223372036854775807 START 4 CACHE 1; ALTER TABLE players_id_seq OWNER TO squash; Table : CREATE TABLE players ( id bigserial NOT NULL, firstname character varying, lastname character varying, CONSTRAINT primaery_key_players PRIMARY KEY (id) ) WITH (OIDS=FALSE); ALTER TABLE players OWNER TO squash; First Error was that sequencer was not initialized on the beginning of the session. I''ve solve this : see "Ruby and Postgres" Subject maybe 2 days ago on the same forum. Next : When i didn''t have default value set on ID i was experiencing not-null constraint violation. So i''ve googled something like this : <b>ALTER TABLE players ALTER COLUMN id SET DEFAULT nextval(''players_id_seq''::regclass);<b> And it is working now. Question is : When i didn''t have default value set and not-null attribute set on ID. Rails was doing inserts only on firstname and lastname values, without setting the id. But he was complaining about non-initialized sequencer. So why he was trying to use sequencer when than he didn''t use the value to fill id field ? What is the the standard procedure to store new record when only basic inheritance of model and controller is used ? class Player < ActiveRecord::Base end class PlayersController < ApplicationController scaffold:player end thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
