I am currently using the book "Agile Web Development With Rails" (2005). I am working on a fully function web application that has a shopping cart. The web page displays this, ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in AdminController#create Mysql::Error: #23000Column ''date_available'' cannot be null: INSERT INTO products (`image_url`, `date_available`, `price`, `title`, `description`) VALUES(''http://www.google.com/pic.jpg'', NULL, ''9.99'', ''asdf'', ''asdf'') RAILS_ROOT: ./script/../config/..

Open mysql (with like mysql -u root), "use" your database, and run that INSERT line. Then run "show create table products;". You probably have a "NOT NULL" on the "date_available" line. Rails is a _thin_ wrapper on several technologies (HTML, SQL, YAML, etc.). You need to start learning to work with each of them, because Rails will only take you so far, then drop you. Change the migration that creates your products table, remove the :null => false, drop and recreate your database, and run rake db:migrate. -- Phlip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

How do I give "date_available" a value. The book does NOT give it a value. The book says, Go to mySQL and type this: drop table if exists products; create table products ( id int not null auto_increment, title varchar(100) not null, description text not null, image_url varchar(200) not null, price decimal(10,2) not null, date_available datetime not null, primary key (id) ); And it shows a web page with the date and time in the book. I am not sure how to approach this. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It looks like you are quoting from p. 62. Did you follow the step of regenerating your scaffold code which comes after this. BUT. I notice from the walkback that you are using ActiveRecord 1.15.3 which is pretty new. The first edition of AWDWR is pretty outdated, and thinks might not work exactly the same way with Rails 1.2. You REALLY should consider getting the new edition. For one thing it uses the (now not so) new migration function to manage db schema evolution. -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
