id not present in _postSave

[megabosx]

I have added an override to the _postSave() method of the datawriter of my item. The problem i have is that at this stage it seems that the item id is not available yet, iv'e defined the id as array('type'=>self::TYPE_UINT, 'auto_Increment'=>true), in the getFields section. I expected the id to be available, any reason why it's not?

protected function _postSave(){
    item = $this->getMergedData();
    item['id'];
}

autoIncrement not auto_Increment.

Also variable with item will receive throw runtime error. It is should be $item

autoIncrement not auto_Increment.

Yeah that did it, thank you. But why were my id's incrementing when i was using auto_Increment, is it also supported?

The column in the table has likely been defined as auto_increment, if that's what you mean.
