Hello friends, I have written a ruby code which generates table in the database. I have given an option of overwriting the table if it already exists. Here is the code domain_object_class "AuditTrailEntry" do attribute "process_code", :of_type => :string attribute "process_instance_id", :of_type => :integer attribute "workflow_model_element", :of_type => :string attribute "event_type", :of_type => :string attribute "timestamp", :of_type => :datetime attribute "originator", :of_type => :string attribute "data", :of_type => :binary, :optional => true overwrite true end session = Session.new() trail_entry = AuditTrailEntry.create(:session => session, :process_code => "007", :process_instance_id => 42, :workflow_model_element => "element1", :event_type => "on_delete", :timestamp => Time.now(), :originator => "orig") session.persistChanges() session.end() puts("Done!") same is for work_list_items table. when I run the code for the first time it creates the table in database but when I try to overwrite it by running the code again it gives me an error. /////This is the first try(generates tables properly)////// C:\ruby\Crystallizer1>ruby murrayTest.rb created table audit_trail_entries created Ruby class for AuditTrailEntry created table work_list_items created Ruby class for WorkListItem Changes stored persistently! Done! //////Trying to overwrite the table in the database/////// C:\ruby\Crystallizer1>ruby murrayTest.rb created table audit_trail_entries created Ruby class for AuditTrailEntry c:/Program Files/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/mysql.rb:1032:in `sync='': closed stream (IOEr ror) from c:/Program Files/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/mysql.rb:1032:in `write'' from c:/Program Files/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/mysql.rb:1092:in `finalizer'' from ./nxw-persistency-0.2/nxw-persistency-0.2.rb:22:in `call'' from ./nxw-persistency-0.2/nxw-persistency-0.2.rb:22 from c:/Program Files/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.1/li b/active_support/dependencies.rb:488:in `load'' from c:/Program Files/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.1/li b/active_support/dependencies.rb:488:in `load'' from c:/Program Files/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.1/li b/active_support/dependencies.rb:342:in `new_constants_in'' from c:/Program Files/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.1/li b/active_support/dependencies.rb:488:in `load'' from ./persistencyDSL.rb:75:in `domain_object_class'' from murrayTest.rb:32 I ll appreciate your help Thank you -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
