Hi,

I am about to finally ditch DBIx::Class, as I spend far too much time figuring out how to make it do what I want it to do (my IQ is simply not up to it), but does by any chance someone know how to generate primary keys from a sequence in DBIx::Class?

I have tried this approach: 

__PACKAGE__->add_columns(  id        => { data_type => 'integer', size
+ => 16, sequence => "stream_seq" },
...

[download]
But when I then try this: 
my $s = $schema->resultset('Stream')->new({});
$s->insert;

[download]
I get an error (sequence STREAM_SEQ_CURRVAL is not yet defined in this session).

The problem seems to be that PK::Auto seems to expect a trigger that populates the primary key column but I would prefer a solution where I don't define a trigger but rather have DBIx::Class generate an insert-statement that uses the sequence directly - is that possible (and if so how)?

And please don't point me to CPAN-modules you have not used yourself...

Many thanks!
