Webmaster Forum / Perl / DBI Library / July 2008Nonnumeric Primary Keys
Hey, all I have a db in production that uses a whole lot of string values as primary keys. (It's Oracle, FWIW) Does DBIX::Class care what data type a primary key is? I *vaguely* remember hearing some sort of remark in the Catalyst master class Jon Rockway taught at YAPC that this is an issue, but I might have imagined it. Thanks, Karen Maybe it had to do with string comparisons being more expensive than numeric comparisons? I think you can make whatever datatype you'd like a primary key. > Hey, all I have a db in production that uses a whole lot of string > values as primary keys.
