Someone wrote here that nil :include results are cached with has_one association in edge rails. I can''t get edge rails at the moment, so could anybody answer please if nil results are cached with belongs_to associations. This means that when u perform find with :include => belongs_to_association and the result of generated LEFT OUTER JOIN is nil, rails doesn''t generate sql query SELECT * FROM when using method found_object.belongs_to_association At the moment I have to use query like this in my model to get the same result: def self.get_associations( id, association ) find( :all, :joins => "JOIN #{association} ON #{association}.key = model_table._key", :include => association, :conditions => [ "model_table.key = ''?''", id ], ) end And I have to run it in a iteration for each association instead of selecting all associations in one query :(( Thanks, Dmitry -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
