Hi

I was attempting to update a MySQL table's primary key using DBIx::Class. I do not get any errors executing the update.
However, when I check the table using Workbench or MySQL Client, it shows the old value.

Is DBIx::Class restricted from updating primary keys. It can be done with DBI.

Here is a snippet of code to perform the update:

use My::Data;
my $schema = "My::Data";

my $acct = $schema->resultset( 'Accounts')->search({ acctid => 'pv001'
+ })->single;

if($acct) {
     $acct->acctid( 'pv002' );
     $acct->update;
}
else {
     print "Could not find account to update!\n\n";
}

As I stated, when I check the table, the value 'pv001' is still in the database. I searched for 'pv002', I could not find any record
with that value as the primary key.

Has anyone encounter this issue where DBIx::Class will not update the primary key? If yes, how did you resolve this issue?
I am hoping there is a resolution, before I use DBI.

Thanks.
