Error saving row in Postgres and how to fix it? - postgresql

Question

In my Laravel 5.6/PostgreSQL 10.5 application
I want to save data in table :
CREATE TABLE public.rt_orders (
id serial NOT NULL,
user_id int4 NULL,
card_owner varchar(100) NOT NULL,
discount int4 NULL DEFAULT 0,
discount_code varchar(255) NULL,
qty_count int4 NOT NULL,
price_total int4 NOT NULL,
payment varchar(255) NOT NULL,
completed bool NOT NULL DEFAULT false,
error_message varchar(255) NULL,
created_at timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
CONSTRAINT rt_orders_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id),
CONSTRAINT orders_user_id_foreign FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES rt_users(id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE SET NULL
)
with code :
try {
DB::beginTransaction();
$insertOrderData= [
'user_id'=> $loggedUser->id,
'card_owner'=> $card_owner,
'qty_count'=> Cart::instance('default')->count(),
'price_total'=> Cart::instance('default')->subtotal(),
'payment'=> 'stripe',
'completed'=> true
];
$newOrder = Order::create($insertOrderData);
and I got error:
SQLSTATE[22P02]: Invalid text representation: 7 ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "3500.75" (SQL: insert into "rt_orders" ("user_id", "card_owner", "qty_count", "price_total", "payment", "completed") values (5, gdfgdfgds, 2, 3500.75, stripe, 1) returning "id") {"userId":5,"email":"admin#mail.com","exception":"[object] (Illuminate\\Database\\QueryException(code: 22P02): SQLSTATE[22P02]: Invalid text representation: 7 ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: \"3500.75\" (SQL: insert into \"rt_orders\" (\"user_id\", \"card_owner\", \"qty_count\", \"price_total\", \"payment\", \"completed\") values (5, gdfgdfgds, 2, 3500.75, stripe, 1) returning \"id\") at /mnt/_work_sdb8/wwwroot/lar/ArtistsRating/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Connection.php:664, PDOException(code: 22P02): SQLSTATE[22P02]: I
Why error ?
I tried to copy the sql statement in my sql editor and payed attention that a statement like :
insert into "rt_orders" ("user_id", "card_owner", "qty_count", "price_total", "payment", "completed") values (5, fsdf, 2, 3500.75, stripe, 1)
1) Values entered as string values are without ‘’
2) and got error as last parameter was integer value not boolean:
SQL Error [42804]: ERROR: column "completed" is of type boolean but expression is of type integer
Hint: You will need to rewrite or cast the expression.

I tried in my model to add method:
<?php
namespace App;
use DB;
use App\MyAppModel;
use App\User;
use App\SongOrder;
class Order extends MyAppModel
{
protected $table = 'orders';
protected $primaryKey = 'id';
public $timestamps = false;
protected static function boot() {
parent::boot();
}
protected $fillable = ['user_id', 'card_owner', 'discount', 'discount_code', 'price_total', 'qty_count', 'price_total', 'payment', 'completed', 'error_message'];
public function getCompletedAttribute($value)
{
$this->debToFile(print_r($value,true),' 000 getCompletedAttribute -7 $value::');
$ret= (int)$value == 1;
$this->debToFile(print_r($ret,true),' 000 getCompletedAttribute -7 $ret::');
return $ret;
}
debToFile - is my debugging method and looks like the getCompletedAttribute is not triggered as I do not see my debigiing info of this method.
Can somebody give a hint why this error and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Answer 1

Your price_total has a data type is wrong
price_total int4 NOT NULL,
should be
price_total numeric(10,2) NOT NULL,
where 10 is the max total digits, and 2 is the number of digits after the decimal.
You can also use the money data type (not recommended)
price_total money NOT NULL,
Whatever you do, do NOT use any type of float.
