Now, I want to create table''s columns by "rake migrate", but the default primary key is only ID. how to set one more primary keys? saying, add same table structure like this sql: CREATE TABLE samples ( id INTEGER NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , code1 VARCHAR(3) NOT NULL , code2 VARCHAR(2) NOT NULL , name1 VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL , name2 VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL , PRIMARY KEY (id, code1, code2) ); Thanks, --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Assuming you only want a primary key for uniqueness of that column (which would also allow you to grab that row by that primary key), you would add class Sample < ActiveRecord::Base validates_uniqueness_of code1 validates_uniqueness_of code2 before_save :set_codes def set_codes # Insert primary key code generation script here. end def Sample.find_by_code_one(id) Sample.find(:first, :conditions => ["code1 = ?", id]) end def Sample.find_by_code_two(id) Sample.find(:first, :conditions => ["code2 = ?", id]) end end Why would you need two primary keys? david wrote:> Now, I want to create table''s columns by "rake migrate", but the > default primary key is only ID. how to set one more primary keys? > > saying, add same table structure like this sql: > > CREATE TABLE samples ( > id INTEGER NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT > , code1 VARCHAR(3) NOT NULL > , code2 VARCHAR(2) NOT NULL > , name1 VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL > , name2 VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL > , PRIMARY KEY (id, code1, code2) > ); > > Thanks,-- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks for your help. But what I mean is how to set multiple primary keys when table creation, maybe I''m not describe very clearly last time. The following is sample: class CreateSamples < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :samples do |t| t.column :code1, :string, :limit => 3, :default => "", :null => false t.column :code2, :string, :limit => 2, :default => "", :null => false t.column :name1, :string, :limit => 20, :default => "", :null => false end end def self.down drop_table :t_samples end end As you know, the default primary key is "ID", but I want to set "code1" and "code2" to primary key too. Would you have good idea? about "why?", because now I just try to migrate a old project to Rails. :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

So what you want is the ability to set the *combination* of the fields to be the primary key? In this case the above code will not help you as there can be many equal code1/code2 values, but their combinations should be unique. This will always be the case if ID is included in the key as it is auto incrementing. Try: add_index(:samples, [:code1, :code2, :id], :unique => true) and/or add_index(:samples, [:code1, :code2], :unique => true) ---ABS On Dec 21, 12:58 pm, "david" <DWF...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Thanks for your help.
