[jira] [Commented] (CAY-504) Add "none" and "table-based" PK generation Strategies

Michael Gentry commented on CAY-504:
------------------------------------

To comment upon a very old issue/thread ...

This hit one of the developers here today.  He had a one-to-one relationship A<->B where the master record A's PK was supposed to be pushed to the dependent child B (and the appropriate "To Dep PK" checkbox *was* set in A's relationship tab).  However, B's PK Generation Strategy was set to Database-Generated instead of Default, therefore Cayenne didn't try to push A's PK into B.  Instead, it left the PK out completely (expecting MySQL to auto-generate the PK, I suppose) and the INSERT blew up because the table didn't have auto-increment for the PK turned on.  Even if the table had been created to auto-generate the PK, the PKs in A and B wouldn't have matched, so this would still be a failure.

A PK Generation strategy of None would make more sense here to me than Default, which implies to me the AUTO_PK_SUPPORT table should be used.

This was in 3.0.2, FWIW.
