search for: serialzied

Hello, Anybody help me out? I done googled it good and didn''t find anything (which should mean that I''ve done something wrong). Not much code to talk about here, quite simply I have an attribute that is serialzied and when I update it, irb shows the object and my methods run on it as it were indeed so. Though when I reload it changes the data to a string. Not yaml, just one digit, the id of the object i had serialized. Don''t think that''s pertinent, most likely that was just the first list...

Hi, When trying to store a Array or Hash to a string field, ActiveRecord automatically serializes them to yaml. If that''s so why is there a special option called serialize? -- Azhagu Selvan http://tamizhgeek.in -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
