DESCRIPTION

This class overrides the insert method to get automatically incremented primary keys.

  __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/);

PK::Auto is now part of Core.

LOGIC

PK::Auto does this by letting the database assign the primary key field and fetching the assigned value afterwards.


METHODS
