It sounds like a bug - have you tested against other db engines?
No, I hadn't. I'd actually have to set up MySQL on my
development machine and get it running! Also, the schema
would have to be modified to use auto_increment instead of
the SERIAL types I use for PostgreSQL.
Can you post minimal code that reproduces the problem? - I'm happy to test against mysql.
See the first part of my post. I put the Perl code up
as well as the definition for the location table. The
person table (the one I was actually intersted in
populating in this case) couldn't be a simpler table.
create table person (
person_id SERIAL not null primary key,
given_name text not null,
surname text not null,
email_addr text not null default 'no@email.net'
);
