I don't understand the reason for the error... Did it happen because source and destination are the same object or something? Otherwise I don't see where the duplicate key is created?

Hello

I have encountered an exception when trying to merge relationships using this code :

Artist source;
Artist destination;
while (source.getPaintings().size() > 0) {
        Object value = source. getPaintings().get(0);

        source.removeFromPaintings(value);
        destination.addToPaintings(value);
}

This code works for one-to-many relationships, no surprise. For the many-to-many relationships with intermediate table with compound pk the result is, that upon commit an error message comes up:

The statement was aborted because it would have caused a duplicate key value in a unique or primary key constraint or unique index identified by 'SQL071114101016080' defined on 'ARTIST_PAINTING'.java.sql.SQLException: The statement was aborted because it would have caused a duplicate key value in a unique or primary key constraint or unique index identified by 'SQL071114101016080' defined on 'ARTIST_PAINTING'

It is a perfectly valid error message, and we have avoided it already, but shouldn't cayenne resolve this internally and prevent creating double relationship ?

With regards
Marcin
