I have a rails app that has a sync feature which looks up a remote database and updates the local database accordingly. Anyway, things work great for the most part, but there is a section of code which seems to randomly raise errors. I have something like this: homelinks = Syncinventorydesc.find(:all) InventoryDescription.delete_all() for link in homelinks locallink = InventoryDescription.new() locallink.inventory_id = link.inventory_id locallink.description_id = link.description_id locallink.save! end this code tears down the local table completely...

...se is confirmed to have no dups in it, the local table gets torn down completely, and rebuilt from scratch. the error only comes up every once in a while, so often the code runs fine.. here''s the code in question: begin #rescue block in event remote db is unreachable homelinks = Syncinventorydesc.find(:all) #fetch all records rescue end InventoryDescription.delete_all() #drop all records from local table for link in homelinks #for each record we fetched.. locallink = InventoryDescription.new() locallink.inventory_id = link.inventory_id locallink.d...
