Hi, If we have two tables like: create table students { name text, id integer } create table evaluations { comments text } inherits (a) is it possible to transfer a row from table evaluations to table students without explicitly typing all the column names? For example, if we have a row from table evaluations called eval_row, and a row from students called stud_row, can we do... for column in Student.columns ???? = eval_row.send(column.name) end What would go in the ????
