I have not tried this out myself, but off the top of my head I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. By: Dima Sabanin RE: Getting objId for the commited object [ reply ]   2004-09-08 03:48 Oh, now I see. Thanks for quick help :) By: Francis Hwang RE: Getting objId for the commited object [ reply ]   2004-09-08 03:39 DomainObject.sqlPrimaryKeyName only affects what field is used in the MySQL. When you're manipulating in Ruby, it's always "pkId". By: Dima Sabanin RE: Getting objId for the commited object [ reply ]   2004-09-08 03:29 Well, I've redefined DomainObject.sqlPrimaryKeyName to return 'objId', and I get NoMethodError: undefined method `objId' for #<TestObj:0x4058113c> Btw, I'm trying to use 'objId' because I don't like 'pkId' name for indexes. By: Francis Hwang RE: Getting objId for the commited object [ reply ]   2004-09-08 03:07 Yeah, that's just how it works. When you do an insert it gets the primary key automatically. FYI, once you start using Lafcadio 0.4.0, it's "pkId", not "objId". By: Dima Sabanin Getting objId for the commited object [ reply ]   2004-09-07 05:59 I need to get the objId that was given to the object I've just committed, is it possible? I.e. something like this: test = TestObj.new( 'text' => 'bla') test.commit p test.objId # => 23
