# DBIx::Class::PK::Auto(3pm)

Automatic primary key class

## NAME

DBIx::Class::PK::Auto - Automatic primary key class

## SYNOPSIS

use base 'DBIx::Class::Core'; \_\_PACKAGE\_\_-\>set\_primary\_key('id');

## DESCRIPTION

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

PK::Auto is now part of Core.

See DBIx::Class::Manual::Component for details of component interactions.

## LOGIC

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

## METHODS

### insert

The code that was handled here is now in Row for efficiency.

### sequence

The code that was handled here is now in ResultSource, and is being proxied to Row as well.
