[Solar-talk] model branch: insert(), _applyFilters() & autoincrement

[Rodrigo Moraes]

In the model branch, it seems that there is a problem when you try to
insert a record with an autoincremented primary key because it will
not validate in _applyFilters() - there is no 'validateInt' yet for
the autoincremented value.

A dirty workaround to let things going is to cheat the filter in
insert(). We set a fake primary key and then unset it before saving:

        $this->_data[$this->_col_primary] = 1;

        // filter the data (sanitize and validate)
        $this->_applyFilters();

        unset($this->_data[$this->_col_primary]);

This trick uses the pattern ' FORCEPS' from WOP - Workaround Oriented
Programming, which consists in setting a hardcoded value to stop a
bug. :P

Please just ignore this message, Paul. It's part of the "model branch
hacks to let things going" series. :)
