Hi all,
Consider a table with a row function attached (in PostgreSQL), e.g.:
CREATE TABLE foo (id serial PRIMARY KEY,
value int not null,
v2 int not null);
CREATE FUNCTION is_even(foo) RETURNS boolean STABLE STRICT AS $$
SELECT $1.value %2 = 0;
$$ LANGUAGE SQL;
(modulo typos and syntax errors).
Now, I can access the function value like this:
SELECT f.id, f.value, f.v2, f.is_even FROM foo f;
or like this:
my @foos = @{ Foo::Manager->get_objects };
print $_->is_even ? 'even' : 'odd' for @foos;
So far, so good. RDBO handles it nicely (with a little patch to always
qualify column names). As long as I remember to use changes_only => 1
in save, updates work fine too.
However, the problem arises after calling:
my ($a_foo) = @{ Foo::Manager->get_objects( query => [ id => 5, is_even => 0 ]
) };
$a_foo->v2( 5 );
$a_foo->save( changes_only => 1 );
The is_even condition is a result of my condition builder (e.g. a user
may access any foo as long as its value is even). The rather weird call
to a manager method to get one item is its artefact too.
After executing the above snippet, RDBO wants to update the is_even
column and gets barfed at by PostgreSQL (there's no is_even column).
Apparently the setter for the is_even column is called within the
get_objects function, but AIUI, this shouldn't result in marking the
column modified. I appreciate any pointers and maybe a word or two about
the Right Way to handle computed columns in RDBO.
I'm using RDBO v.0.763.
Best regards,
Grzegorz Nosek
