Thread: Problem inserting with remote views in vfp

Problem inserting with remote views in vfp

From
Geoffrey Clements
Date:
I'm in the process of converting a Visual FoxPro application from using local
tables to using a postgresql backend on a Debian box with psqlODBC on Windows
Xp.

I've set up the database server with the necessary tables containing test data
and using a remote view in VFP I can browse and update data.  However when I
insert a row into the view and try to commit the change to the server I get
an error message saying that the null value for the primary key conflicts
with the non-null constraint, however the data that I am inserting is
non-null for the primary key.

Any help would be appreciated as I've run out of ideas on how to fix this.

I recommend that you turn logging on either on the ODBC side or on the server side, and see exactly what you are
sendingas a query. 
Also, try to send the exact query you would be making from your applicatio via PSQL or pgAdmin and see the results.
Browsing a table is not fgoing to trigger a constraint.  This will happen only if you are inserting/updating/deleting
rows.
