Re: [Openinteract-help] SPOPS: Multiple-Filed ID Fields, Relationships

Thanks, but,

that helped. But your manual says

"As of SPOPS 0.53, SPOPS::DBI supports multi-field primary keys. To use i=
t,=20
you just use an arrayref to represent the ID field rather than a string.=20
(Wisenheimers who use an arrayref with one element may be shocked that SP=
OPS=20
finds this attempt to trick it and sets the value to the single element.)=
"

Please don't mind, but that's weird.

Will lokk there asap.

Good idea.

SPOPS is a very powerful piece of software. But as such it is as usable a=
s=20
it's documentation complete :-(
