Hi Dave,
Is it necessary to use assignKeyAttr? From the source code, it doesn't
seem to do anything special, except to change the primary key(s)?
def assignKeyAttr(self, attrName, value):
"""Assign to a key attribute.
This cannot be done through normal means to protect changing
keys of db objects.
"""
found = 0
for keyColumn, type in self.rowKeyColumns:
if keyColumn == attrName:
found = 1
if not found:
raise DBError("%s is not a key columns." % attrName)
self.__dict__[attrName] = value
Alternatively, I could set the primary key manually.
newRoom = RoomRow()
newRoom.roomID = get_unique _id()
#newRoom.assignKeyAttr("roomID", get_unique _id())
reflector.insertRow(newRoom).addCallback(onInsert)
