Is there a way for Rose to auto-initialize a schema that has a many-to-many relationship defined?
Here's the schema: mysqladmin -u root create testdb CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS firsts ( id INT AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(50) ); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS seconds ( id INT AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, path varchar(255) ); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS first_second_map ( first_id INT NOT NULL REFERENCES firsts (id), second_id INT NOT NULL REFERENCES seconds (id), PRIMARY KEY (first_id, second_id) ); but the code use strict; use Rose::DB; use Rose::DB::Object; package DB; use base 'Rose::DB'; __PACKAGE__->use_private_registry; __PACKAGE__->register_db( driver => 'mysql', host => 'localhost', database=> 'testdb', username=> 'root', password=> '', ); package Object; use base qw( Rose::DB::Object ); sub init_db { DB->new } package First; use base 'Object'; __PACKAGE__->meta->auto_initialize; package Second; use base 'Object'; __PACKAGE__->meta->auto_initialize; package FirstSecondMap; use base 'Object'; __PACKAGE__->meta->auto_initialize; package main; my $f = First->new( id => 1, name => "testing" ); $f->load( speculative => 1); $f->seconds(); 1; throws an error DBD::mysql::db column_info failed: Table 'testdb.first_second_maps' doesn't exist at Rose/DB/Object/Metadata/Auto.pm line 85. Could not auto-generate columns for class FirstSecondMap indicating that it doesn't see that 'first_second_map' is a mapping table. The tutorial says use ProductColorMap; ... __PACKAGE__->meta->setup ( relationships => [ colors => { type => 'many to many' }, ... ], ... ); would work, suggesting that the mapping table class has to define the relationship, but I couldn't get this to work either. What's the easiest way to set up a many-to-many relationsship with a mapping table, making maximum use of the convention manager? -- Mike Mike Schilli [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
