how to set custom id value instead of auto increment #657

Closed sadick254 closed 6 years ago

sadick254 commented 6 years ago

Is it possible to set a value on the id instead of auto-increment done by the databases.

$book = R::dispense('book');
$book ->id = 'some value';

R::store($book);

When I do it like above, there is nothing getting persisted on the db.

Hi there,

Managing your own primary keys like that does not work with RedBeanPHP. If you want custom ids you need to implement your own QueryWriter. Copy-pastable examples are available:

That page describes how to use MySQL/PostgreSQL UUIDs with RedBeanPHP. Hope this helps!

Cheers Gabor
