Thread: Problem with sequences

Hi,

I'm writing a script, which has to retrieve a next value from a sequnce. I use 
mod_perl, DBI and DBD::Pg version 0.98.

I notice that when I execute "select nextval('sequence_name'::text) AS 
sname;", via DBI, the value of sequence is updated, but the mod_perl returns 
"DBD::Pg::st execute failed: ERROR:  sequence_name.nextval: you don't have 
permissions to set sequence"

The above command is executed sucssesfuly in psql and returns the desire 
result.

Does anybody has an idea what is the problem ?
Vladimir

Your issue is either:
1. You are not connecting from Perl as the same user you connect as to
psql, and the perl user does not have any/many rights to the database.
2. There is some issue with authentication of users for Perl::DBI.

Unfortunately, you are probably not going to find people on this list
capable of diagnosing either problem.  Try the pgsql-interfaces list
instead. (http://postgresql.advancecreations.com/users-lounge/index.html)
