Rails - Aug 2006 - validates_uniqueness_of problem

hi

Could I check to strings for uniqueness together and not individually? 
That means for me in an example:

name:      sex:        result:
-----      ----        -------
miller     m           unique
miller     f           unique
jackson    m           unique
miller     m           isn''t unique


So I want to check the name and sex be together unique. The name isn''t 
individually. Because when I use the following codelines, the third 
entry in the example isn''t unique, but I would!

validates_uniqueness_of :name
validates_uniqueness_of :sex

thx for your help!

I think you want

validates_uniqueness_of :name, :scope => :sex
