Turn off auto increment

Hello,

I have an old table that handles sessions. the primary key is a field
called session_id and is the actual session id like “8df838303ufdfu838”

however when i do the following in the model:
set_primary_key “session_id”

and the following in the controller:

@session_hash = { “session_id” => @session.session_id,
“session_user_id” =>
@entry.user_id, “session_ip” => encode_ip, “session_time” => Time.now }

it wont update the session_id as noted here in script/console:

sess = Session.new
=> #<Session:0x407683f0 @attributes={“session_start”=>0,
“session_time”=>0,
“session_ip”=>“0”, “session_admin”=>0, “session_page”=>0,
“session_logged_in”=>false, “session_user_id”=>0}, @new_record=true>

sess.session_id
=> nil

sess.session_id = ‘3893839393’
NoMethodError: undefined method session_id=' for #<Session:0x407683f0> from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:1498:inmethod_missing’
from (irb):3

How do i enable manually setting the session_id value ? If i comment out
the
“set_primary_key” line everything seems to break.

Even though you set_primary_key, you still use
sess.id = ‘4543535345’

thanks. A note on this however… It seems you cant use a @params hash
with
“id” as one of the attributes and then do a sess= Session.new(@params).
You have to do

sess = Session.new(@params)
sess.id = somevalue

Not sure why but that is the only way i could get it to work.
