Request Parameters:

array (
  'controller' => 'guestbook',
  'action' => 'index',
  'module' => 'default',
)  

But I am sure my table has a primary key id for table:

CREATE TABLE guestbook (
    id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    email VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL DEFAULT '[e-mail]',
    comment TEXT NULL,
    created DATETIME NOT NULL
);

CREATE INDEX "id" ON "guestbook" ("id");

Don’t understand why getting error.

How can I see if it is even picking up the right database

Answer 1

Zend_Db_Table_Abstract contains a protected property called _primary which defaults to id.

It assumes that id is the table’s primary key and is a sequence (auto increment).

Since your table definition says that id is a primary key, you should get rid of the second SQL command that adds an index on the id column. Since its already a primary key, it is an index.

Delete the table and re-create it using the create table statement you have in your question, just don’t do the CREATE INDEX part. After that you should be able to continue.
