Hello, we have converted from MySQL to postgre.
Previous Auto-Increment fields are handled by Serial Fields using Sequences within postgre. The serial field is the primary index.

This causes a few problems with pgDAC.

1 -The insert query needs to be changed so that it does not include the Serial Field or this fails with null violation error.

2 - After an insert operation, further edits on the inserted record fail with "Update Fail, Found 0 records" I assume that this fails because pgDAC does not know the new value of the serial field.

Once the dataset is refreshed, edits work fine.

Is there a more elegant way around this than refreshing the entire dataset?

Thanks

Hello

I created the following table and sequence:

Code: Select all

CREATE SEQUENCE seq_test_table
  INCREMENT 1
  MINVALUE 1
  MAXVALUE 9223372036854775807
  START 1
  CACHE 1;
  
CREATE TABLE test_table
(
  id integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('seq_test_table'::regclass),
  "name" character varying(250),
  CONSTRAINT test_table_pk PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

To fill ID field automatically you can use two ways:

1. Set the Options.DefaultValues option to True. In this case default value for the ID field will be set to "nextval(''test.seq_test_table''::regclass)" and the ID field will be filled automatically.

2. Set the KeySequence property to "seq_test_table". In this case field ID will be filled from this sequence.

Please provide us sample code that raises the "Update Fail, Found 0 records" error on update and we will help you to resolve this issue.

Hi,

Setting the DefaultValues to True then regenerating the insert query (I removed the serial field remember) fixed both problems.

Thanks for your help.
