Duplicate Data But Have The Primary Keys Change With A Click
I basically want to know whether there is such function on ruby on rails that allows me to duplicate a record but have the primary keys changed. For example, duplicate 20 records of Micheal Jackson''s address and details but the primary keys will be 1 to 20, I need this function for my database, is there something like this with a click of a button or a link, also a flash message that could tell me that i am on record number 6 or 18 or 19 etc, 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.

Re: Duplicate Data But Have The Primary Keys Change With A C
very funny, @artist_to_copy = Artist.find( your find conditions, eg id ) must get an id, of course. like: @artist_to_copy = Artist.find(1) or @artist_to_copy = Artist.find(params[:id]) if id was sent as param with the url please read some tutorial that gives you at least an overview of basic RoR functionality -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
