Re^3: Class DBI Problems

       When setting up the relationship we examine the foreign class's
+ has_a()
       declarations to discover which of its columns reference our cla
+ss.
       (Note that because this happens at compile time, if the foreign
+ class
       is defined in the same file, the class with the has_a() must be
+ defined
       earlier than the class with the has_many(). If the classes are 
+in dif-
       ferent files, Class::DBI should be able to do the right thing).
+ If no
       such has_a() declarations can be found, or none link to us, we 
+assume
       that it is linking to us via a column named after the moniker()
+ of our
       class. If this is not true you can pass an additional third arg
+ument to
       the has_many() declaration stating which column of the foreign 
+class
       references us.

I don't understand what I need to do to get that to work, especially since the example doesn't show anything else about tracks other than the line that specifies the has_many for the tracks. Godzirra! Destroying Neo Tokyo since 1954	[reply]

Highlighting the very applicable sentence: If this is not true you can pass an additional third argument to the has_many() declaration stating which column of the foreign class references us. Therefore, you must add a third argument to the has_many declaration (`CCopy::Chart->has_many(items => 'CCopy::Chart_Item_XREF');`) stating which column (`chart_id`) of the foreign class (`CCopy::Chart_Item_XREF`) references the class. Is that clearer now? -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
