I have setup a controller with a GC table and when I try to to add a row, it generates an error:
An error has occurred on insert
Then I tried to EDIT an existing row and got an error like the following:
An error has occurred on saving.
Now I am ecstatic that error messages are generated from GC, I am not sure why I am not able to do these simple actions.
I assume it has something to do with a mySQL error.
Can someone recommend how to get more data to display for me to allow me to DEBUG my script. i.e. ECHO mySQL string, etc...
Thanks!

Well a possible way to perform such debuging may be using the CI profiler
$this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE);
try and see if it can help you...
Else u are recommended to post in your code / table structure... so that in case there is error in code - some1 may help u fix it.

well this wont solve yr problem but avail u information as to identify what and where is the error / problem. I will recommend the CI mode to be in developer mode rather then being production. With this, it will help u identify any sort of errors if at all available. And whatever errors if such dose get generated it will be printed out in the output / response. U might be able to view the same using firebug.
Hope this instructions help u reach to the root cause of your problem.. Else - do 1 thing share the tables ddl and the code of the controller .. and we might try and understand as where and what the error is .!

@dwdc. in order to debug the SQL code, i suggest you this:
1. define a callback function after insert inside your controller:
$crud->callback_after_insert(array($this, 'after_insert_callback'));
2. then, inside the callback function, display the last SQL query done against the DB:
after_insert_callback($post_array,$primary_key)
3. don't forget to enable logging output to be able to see it:
you need to set write permissions on the logs/ folder
chmod a+w logs/
and also, inside /application/config/config.php, set:
$config['log_threshold'] = 2;
to enable debug output
hope it helps!
