NAME

DBIx::Class::PK::Auto - Automatic primary key class

SYNOPSIS

__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/PK::Auto Core/); __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('id');

DESCRIPTION

This class overrides the insert method to get automatically incremented primary keys.

__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/PK::Auto Core/);

Note that PK::Auto is specified as the left of the Core component. See DBIx::Class::Manual::Component for details of component interactions.

LOGIC

PK::Auto does this by letting the database assign the primary key field and fetching the assigned value afterwards.

METHODS

insert

Overrides insert so that it will get the value of autoincremented primary keys.

sequence

Manually define the correct sequence for your table, to avoid the overhead associated with looking up the sequence automatically.
