In PostgreSQL, I created a new table and assigned a new sequence to the id
column. If I insert a record from the PostgreSQL console it works but when I try to import a record from from Rails, it raises an exception that it is unable to find the associated sequence.
Here is the table:
\d+ user_messages;
Table "public.user_messages"
Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Description
-------------+-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+----------+-------------
id | integer | not null default nextval('new_user_messages_id'::regclass) | plain |
But when I try to get the sequence with the SQL query which Rails uses, it returns NULL:
select pg_catalog.pg_get_serial_sequence('user_messages', 'id');
pg_get_serial_sequence
------------------------
(1 row)
The error being raised by Rails is:
UserMessage.import [UserMessage.new]
NoMethodError: undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass
from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/activerecord-3.2.3/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/postgresql_adapter.rb:910:in `default_sequence_name'
This problem only occurs when I use the ActiveRecord extension for importing bulk records, single records get saved through ActiveRecord.
How do I fix it?
