Automatically populating models with the defaults from the table definition.
I am using SQL server with ODBC adapter. If I have a field defined as "hair_color string(255) default("UNK"), not null" it causes problems with saving the record if I don''t specify the hair color. In this case if I don''t specify a hair color AR puts a NULL into the insert clause and SQL server pukes. If AR simply had left that field out of the insert everything would have been fine. Is there a way to tell AR to either leave the NULL fields out of the insert (or update) or to load the defaults into the model when it''s created? Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
