This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
In 5.1 Object Store Storage Operation, step 1 it says: "If store uses a key generator and key is undefined, set key to the next generated key. If store also uses in-line keys, then set the property in value pointed to by store's key path to the new value for key". But in the object store example in 3.3.3, there is the following: A second put operation will overwrite the record stored by the first put operation. var abraham = {id: 1, name: 'Abraham', number: '2107'}; store.put(abraham); However, the way I read the specification, the key generator will generate the key 2, and then set the "id" property in the value to 2. So this operation does not at all overwrite the first record, and the next statement in the example: "Now when the object store is read with the same key, the result is different compared to the object read earlier." is false. To me, it would make sense that: 1. If a user provides an explicit key to an operation on an object store that has a key generator, then the explicit key takes precedence, and the key generator doesn't do anything. 2. If a user provides an in-line key, then that key takes precedence, and the key generator doesn't do anything.
