Hello friendly perl monks!

I am trying to find_or_create the following:

my $foo = MyDB::Foo->find_or_create({
    name => 'name', 
    uri => 'hello',
});

[download]

with my MyDB::Foo looking like this:

package MyDB::Foo;
use base MyDB;
__PACKAGE__->table('foo');
__PACKAGE__->columns( ALL =>
    ('foo_id','name','uri')
);
1;

[download]

and I get the following error:

MyDB::Foo can't SELECT FROM   foo
WHERE  name = ? AND uri = ?
: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax;
+ check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for t
+he right syntax to use near 'FROM   foo

+extualFetch.pm line 52.
 at C:/Perl/site/lib/Class/DBI/Search/Basic.pm line 169

Now if I use insert instead of find_or_create, it inserts fine and all the data is in the DB like I want it.

Also, inserting it, then searching for it makes the insert work fine, search not ( which kind of makes my title a bit misleading I guess, sry )

just in case this is relevant, here is the SQL file I used to create the table:

CREATE TABLE foo (
    foo_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
    name TEXT,
    uri TEXT
);

where is my mistake?

any help appreciated...
