One of the most useful Rose features to me is the
$foo->bar({ unique_column => $value });
notation which will create a new unique_column in the referenced table or
re-use one that's already there. It seems though that this doesn't work
correctly for many-to-many relationsships and I wonder why.
Here's my mysql database:
CREATE TABLE foos (
id INTEGER AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
string VARCHAR(32),
UNIQUE(string)
)Type=InnoDB;
CREATE TABLE bars (
id INTEGER AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
string VARCHAR(32),
UNIQUE(string)
)Type=InnoDB;
CREATE TABLE foo_bar_map (
id INTEGER AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
foo_id INTEGER,
bar_id INTEGER,
FOREIGN KEY(foo_id) REFERENCES foos(id),
INDEX(foo_id),
FOREIGN KEY(bar_id) REFERENCES bars(id),
INDEX(bar_id)
)Type=InnoDB;
and here's my code:
use Rose::DB::Object::Loader;
my $loader =
Rose::DB::Object::Loader->new(
db_dsn => 'dbi:mysql:dbname=testdb',
db_username => 'root',
db_options => { AutoCommit => 1, RaiseError => 1 },
class_prefix => 'TestDB');
$loader->make_classes();
my $foo = TestDB::Foo->new();
$foo->string("I am Foo");
$foo->load(speculative => 1);
$foo->add_bars({ string => "I am Bar" });
$foo->save();
The first time this is run, records for both "I am Foo" in foos and "I am Bar"
in bars
are created:
mysql> select * from foos;
+----+----------+
| id | string |
+----+----------+
| 1 | I am Foo |
+----+----------+
mysql> select * from bars;
+----+----------+
| id | string |
+----+----------+
| 1 | I am Bar |
+----+----------+
and the relationship table contains the mapping:
mysql> select * from foo_bar_map;
+----+--------+--------+
| id | foo_id | bar_id |
+----+--------+--------+
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
+----+--------+--------+
But the second time around, I would expect it to reuse the existing mapping,
which
works well for the foos and bars tables, but surprisingly, it adds a second
identical
mapping record:
mysql> select * from foo_bar_map;
+----+--------+--------+
| id | foo_id | bar_id |
+----+--------+--------+
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 1 | 1 |
+----+--------+--------+
Is there a way around that? I'm using Rose::DB::Object 0.758.
