Hello John. Thank you very much for your help. :) No. The primary key is named NETWORKID. I have found that the problem is using $row->...->load() and then $row->init() using my hash. The values of the CMP_NETWORK related object are overridden then, and the value of the primary key is missing afterwards. (Of all columns except those set in the hash, to be exact.) So, RDBO makes an insert(), generating an new primary key value, as you stated. So, the problem I have is not using primary_key_generator, but finding a clever way to store updated data. ;) I have not found a smart way to update all related objects with ease yet. I am using a foreach() construct now, but this only works with one sublevel. my $row = $schema->new( db => $dbh, %{ $idmap } # contains KEYFIELD => value map )->load( with => $with # list of related objects to load ); $row->init( %$data ); # where data is _without_ related here foreach my $rel ( keys %{$related} ) { # hard coded here for testing only... I will have to add # another loop to iterate through the array my $manager = $row->CMP_NETWORK->[0]->class . '::Manager'; # todo: check eval() return value eval 'use '.$manager; my $func = 'update_'.$rel; $manager->$func( set => $related->{$rel}, where => [ %{$idmap} ] ); } This works, but it's just "quick and dirty" for some testing. I seem to be at a loss... So I'd really appreciate some further hints, though it's not really a RDBO problem any longer. ;) I'm sure I just need a poke into some direction to cut the knot. Thank you.
