With autogenerate false primary_key is still auto incrementing

Questions / Help
1

I have this primary key field which was set in my migration like this:

          add(:rev_id, :bigserial, primary_key: true)

It’s auto incremented and I dont want it to be auto incremented so I wrote a migration and change it like this:

           modify(:rev_id, :integer, primary_key: true)

I changed it from bigserial to integer. And in my schema I set it like this:

     @primary_key {:revision_id, :integer, autogenerate: false}

But when I test it its still auto incrementing.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

its seems like removing the rev_id and then creating it again solved the problem

Specifically because it’s the DB that does the autoincrementing, not Ecto, and it needed to be told not to do that via a migration or recreation. :slight_smile:
