[Teneo] Is it possible to modify the value of an EAttribute that is a PK? [message #73528]

I have an EClass with an EAttribute marked as an ID attribute. It has come
up that I need to change the value of the ID attribute of an already
persisted instance. However, it seems that after the code changes the value
and saves the resource, the value of the ID on that instance has not changed
in the DB, even though other edits made to the same object were correctly
updated.

Does Teneo disallow chaning the PK of an object once it is saved? Should
it? I am wondering whether I might be doing something wrong, or this
behavior is by design, or I should submit a bug. I am currently using Teneo
v0.7.5.v200701041633.

Chris,
Apparently Hibernate does not allow changing the pk (new for me to):
http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=965186&highli ght=update+primary+key

For jpox I am not sure but I would think that they do not support changing the pk either (they did
not a few years ago).

I am not sure if you can for your case but at Hibernate they advice to always use a generated id
(like a sequence number). Overall generated (numeric) id's are easier to handle. With as main
disadvantage that import/export of data is more complex.
It all depends on your case ofcourse.
