database - SQlite foreign key logic -

-

i using sqlite , pk column seems auto-incrementing. bit concerned following approach want normalize type-column:

table: book id   type  name ...  ...   ... 15    1     foo 16    2     bar ...   ...  ...   table: type id  typename 1   magazine 2   novel

what happens, if recreate type-table , pk-index (="id") changes, e.g. 1 refers novel instead of magazine. more robust, thinking inserting custom second column contains "logical" indices refer to:

table: book id   type  name 1    3     foo 2    4     bar  table: type id   type  typename 1    3     magazine 2    4     novel

this way custom type-ids independent primary keys. think advantage of last approach not have re-ask latest (new) id of new row, because refer type column know before. way when insert row know "type" id make references (i using threads database, reading value database within method difficult or not possible (?) - if need id, have ask db first).

is legit approach? or should directly create non-incrementing primary key "custom id's" manage on own?

as shown in documentation, can insert desired values in pk column:

insert type(id, typename) values(2, 'novel')

and if never need autoincrement values, should not use autoincrementing column in first place.

PHP DOM loadHTML() method unusual warning -

-
i had following code works fine on localhost: $document = new domdocument(); $document->loadhtml($p_result); $form = $document->getelementsbytagname('form')->item(0); // code continues using $form variable after same code updated on outside server, loadhtml() failed , issued warning. warning: domdocument::loadhtml() expects parameter 1 valid path, string given in path/name/to/script.php returned null instead of object code pretty gets fatal error. note contents of $p_result absolutely same on outside server , on localhost. but why displays kind of warning , why not work? doesn't loadhtml() expects argument 1 string in first place? why method expects parameter 1 valid path ? just make clear i'm not calling loadhtmlfile() , i'm calling loadhtml() . thanks. you're affected one of php bugs . issue present in php 5.6.8 , 5.6.9. have affected php version on server, , bug-free version on localhost. the bug forbids null

here's current code creating index jsonb. index("mytable_data_idx_id_key", mytable.data['id'].astext, postgresql_using='gin') but got error. sqlalchemy.exc.programmingerror: (psycopg2.programmingerror) data type text has no default operator class access method "gin" hint: must specify operator class index or define default operator class data type. [sql: "create index event_data_idx_id_key on event using gin ((data ->> 'id'))"] is there way create index on sqlalchemy? the postgresql specific sqlalchemy docs @ http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/dialects/postgresql.html#operator-classes mention postgresql_ops dictionary provide "operator class" used postgresql, , provide example illustrating use: index('my_index', my_table.c.id, my_table.c.data, postgresql_ops={ 'data': 'text_pattern_ops',

c# - TransactionScope not rolling back although no complete() is called -

i'm using transactionscope rollback transaction fail bool errorreported = false; action<importerrorlog> newerrorcallback = e => { errorreported = true; errorcallback(e); }; using (var transaction = new transactionscope()) { foreach (importtaskdefinition task in taskdefinition) { loader.load(streamfile, newerrorcallback, task.destinationtable, processingtaskid); } if (!errorreported) transaction.complete(); } i'm sure there no transactionscope started ahead or after code. i'm using entity framework insert in db. regardless state of errorreported transaction never rolled in case of error. what missing ? transactionscope sets transaction.current . that's does. wants transacted must @ property. i believe ef each time connection opened reason. probably, connection open when scope installed. open connection inside of scope or enlist manually. ef has nasty "design decision": default opens
