Hi, everyone. I am a very experienced java developer, and a somewhat experienced Spring developer, but am new to Grails.
I'm trying to create a simple one-table one-class grails prototype app that reads from a simple pre-existing Oracle table.
I can see that the grails app is connecting to the database ok, but when I code the Datasource.groovy as dbCreate="update", it wants to add a new hibernate_sequence to the table, and gets this exception:
Thank goodness I didn't have the Oracle privilege to do such. Otherwise, I imagine I would have just messed up a perfectly good Oracle table for our whole team! (The Grails documentation in my Grails book was not very clear on that point.)
If I change to dbCreate="validate", then I get this exception:
....and the error makes sense, but the bottom line is that this is a PRE-EXISTING and in-production table, so I don't want Grails/Hibernate to create a new hibernate_sequence at all. The table already has a perfectly good primary key. I just want grails/hibernate to map to the existing primary key.
I've poked around my Grails books, the internet and this forum, but I don't see how to do this yet.
In general, how am I supposed to configure for a simple legacy database scenario in Grails?
