[SqueakDBX] auto increment on Squeak/Pharo - Glorp - Postgres

[Yanni Chiu]

I didn't ever see the sequence select code, when I had run my code with 
LoggingEnabled. I had wrongly concluded that the feature was not working.

I have since loaded GlorpDBX via the metacello config, followed by the 
native postgres driver. BTW, the compiler tweak that allows '_' in 
method names did not get loaded when using ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX.

Two testcases failed - I'll send a separate email. So things looked okay 
with the native postgres driver. Then I used GlorpItinerary in a simple 
test case, which demonstrated that the sequence id's were working. When 
I moved this test case back to my original image, I found that the 
sequence id's worked there too.

I've not fixed the problem yet, but I have found dynamic descriptors is 
the root of the problem. Somewhere along the way, #tableNamed:ifNone: is 
called to create a DatabaseTable instance. It is supposed to have a 
GlorpSerialType instance that holds a PGSequence. This is done in 
DatabaseField>>postInitialize, but does not happen in my case. An 
exception gets thrown because no table initializer method is found 
(which should be the case, since I create the table dynamically). But 
this exception was being swallowed - don't know where yet.

That's how it's going - learning more about Glorp than I wanted to know.
