Re: Stumped on "Attempt to insert null object...." when connecting to DB

I think you're onto something here.  In my other project (that uses
Postgres) the ERPrototypes model doesn't have any connection dictionary, but
when I'm in this project it magically has one (and it's not magically
delicious).
Not sure why...but I'm not really using prototypes anyway, so I guess it's
irrelevant.

Thanks,

Lon
