If I recall correctly, I read in a cookbook somewhere (can't seem to
find it now) that for rows with no primary key, you can use:
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key(__PACKAGE__->columns);
(making the entire row be a multi-column primary key).

Ah, you meant just on Catalyst side, to tell it that the id column is
the primary. I didn't think of that. Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

Thanks, I figured that would probably fix it, but the problem is I am
not allowed to make any changes to the DB structure itself. I suppose
I need to convince them why it's in the best interest to have a
primary key...
You can set the primary key in the schema file. For example, add a line like
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key( "id" ); to lib/MyApp/Schema/Result/MyTable.pm.
You do not need to change the database. DBIx::Class will then use id
whenever it wants a primary key.
