Re: setFrom doesn't set keys

Opps.. - that last answer was not quite correct... :) setFrom NEVER sets keys - you have to do that manually. - to make sure you dont accidentally update the wrong data... eg. posting a password update form with the table ID.. in the post request..... insert will also ignore the value of a autoincrement/sequenced key, unless you define the sequenceKey method..

I know this may be expected behavior if you fech() a row, update it with setFrom() and then do an update(), but what if your empty is brand new. Example: $do = & DB_DataObject::factory('table'); $do->setFrom($_POST); // yes this is bad, bear with me. if($do->insert()) { echo 'SUCCESS!'; } DBDO currently ignores keys completely in setFrom. I think a better behavior would be for DBDO to know that the key is empty and go ahead and populate the data (for inserts).
