Through associations on tables with non-standard primary keys
I cannot seem to get through associations working properly on tables that have non standard primary keys. class Address < ActiveRecord::Base set_primary_key "address_id" has_many :investor_addresses has_many :investors, :through => :investor_addresses, :source => :investor end class Investor < ActiveRecord::Base set_primary_key "pid" has_many :investor_addresses has_many :addresses, :through => :investor_addresses, :source => :address end class InvestorAddress < ActiveRecord::Base set_primary_key "investor_address_id" belongs_to :investor, :foreign_key => "pid" belongs_to :address, :foreign_key => "address_id" end The Investors table has primary key pid. The Addresses table has primary key address_id. The investor_addresses table has a primary key investor_address and also columns pid and address_id. To me this should work but when I do: i = Investor.find(6493) i.addresses Active record seems to think the investor_addresses table has a column called investor_id. Why wont it use pid? ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PGError: ERROR: column investor_addresses.investor_id does not exist : SELECT addresses.* FROM addresses INNER JOIN investor_addresses ON addresses.address_id = investor_addresses.address_id WHERE (investor_addresses.investor_id = 6493) from /sw/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:120:in `log'' from /sw/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/postgresql_adapter.rb:148:in `execute'' from /sw/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/postgresql_adapter.rb:361:in `select'' from /sw/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/postgresql_adapter.rb:129:in `select_all'' from /sw/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/base.rb:390:in `find_by_sql'' from /sw/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/base.rb:924:in `find_every'' from /sw/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/base.rb:381:in `find'' from /sw/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/associations/has_many_through_association.rb:54:in `find_target'' from /sw/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/associations/association_proxy.rb:116:in `load_target'' from /sw/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/associations/association_proxy.rb:109:in `method_missing'' from /sw/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/associations/has_many_through_association.rb:47:in `method_missing'' from /sw/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:298:in `output_value'' from /sw/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:151:in `eval_input'' from /sw/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:259:in `signal_status'' from /sw/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:147:in `eval_input'' from /sw/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:146:in `eval_input'' from /sw/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:70:in `start'' from /sw/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:69:in `start'' --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: Through associations on tables with non-standard primary keys
Gonna answer my own question here. It should be as follows: class Address < ActiveRecord::Base set_primary_key "address_id" has_many :investor_addresses, :foreign_key => "address_id" has_many :investors, :through => :investor_addresses end class Investor < ActiveRecord::Base set_primary_key "pid" has_many :investor_addresses, :foreign_key => "pid" has_many :addresses, :through => :investor_addresses end class InvestorAddress < ActiveRecord::Base set_primary_key "investor_address_id" belongs_to :investor, :foreign_key => "pid" belongs_to :address, :foreign_key => "address_id" end On Nov 14, 2:08 pm, "Jason Gordon" <jason.gor...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I cannot seem to get through associations working properly on tables > that have non standard primary keys. > > class Address < ActiveRecord::Base > set_primary_key "address_id" > has_many :investor_addresses > has_many :investors, :through => :investor_addresses, :source => > :investor > end > > class Investor < ActiveRecord::Base > set_primary_key "pid" > has_many :investor_addresses > has_many :addresses, :through => :investor_addresses, :source => > :address > end > > class InvestorAddress < ActiveRecord::Base > set_primary_key "investor_address_id" > belongs_to :investor, :foreign_key => "pid" > belongs_to :address, :foreign_key => "address_id" > end > > The Investors table has primary key pid. > The Addresses table has primary key address_id. > The investor_addresses table has a primary key investor_address and > also columns pid and address_id. > > To me this should work but when I do: > i = Investor.find(6493) > i.addresses > > Active record seems to think the investor_addresses table has a column > called investor_id.
