Is it true that Rails needs a single column to uniquely identify a row in table? If yes, doesn''t this limit the database design and disables the use of Rails for legacy databases? /Fredrik -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Our group has several web apps developed in ColdFusion, PHP, and Rails. The ColdFusion and PHP apps are on an older server, and the Rails apps on a new server. Ideally, we''d like them all to share the same server. Our current setup for the Rails server is Apache2.2 with mod_proxy_balancer and mongrel_cluster. We''d like to have specific directories be processed and served by

My application has multiple things on the interface that need to be updated periodically. Some things every second, others not so much. Some of these things are global, meaning they are on the interface at all times, and some of these things are view specific. So what I figured I would do is add the periodically_call_remote function for the global elements and another one for the view

I''m having an argument with my son :) I have a table with about 1500 objects called entries. I need to do something with about 100 of them (schedule manually) I say I should just mark them with a boolean when I have scheduled them. (manual == true) My son says I should pull them out of the entries table and copy them to new objects (lets call them "manual" objects, and store

OK I have dents in my head from beating on LoginGenerator, so if anyone who has used this thing can shed a little light I would greatly appreciate it. It is installed and I have set it up on my User class. Folks can login, logout, etc just fine. I have am not using the per method protection model yet, as I am trying to migrate slowly ;) What is broken though are all my methods that save or

Let''s say I''m building a "to-do" list application using Ruby on Rails. I decide to sell it to a customer, and distribute the source code files to him. Can I then restrict the user from distrubting the files by creating a license that prohibits distribution? That is, is it possible to create a "single-user" license? Or, am I limited to distributing the

"DLongKelly" is actually "DLong'Kelly" and all the other usernames should be reported on separate lines. This behaviour ha...

All: I recently wrote an LDAP library for Ruby called Net::LDAP, and I''ve noticed that quite a few people are using it to do authentication and authorization for Rails apps. I know there are several well-done login generators for Rails, but what about people that would rather use a directory? If we were to write a generator for Rails that used LDAP (or A/D) as the backend, would

Does anyone have any recommendations for working with zip code distance ranges? I need to calculate the distances between US zip codes.

Well I finally broke down and got me one of those Intel iMacs and a copy of Textmate. It took me a bit to get use to Textmate but once I learned some of the shortcuts I was cruising. Mac OS X took very little time to get used to as I already had a decent *nix background. Up until this point I had been primarily on Windows. Some of the productivity highlights I''ve found: 1. My CPU

We have a Redhat 7.2 server running(we think) samba 2.2. We updated 3 Win2K machines from SP2 to SP3 and now we have some problems. While they all can browse, read and write to samba shared directories, they cannot manipulate any open files in them. We do have one other Win2K machine that works with no problems but I cannot find any differences in its setup and the other three. I checked the
