That is: class Recipe < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :recipes, :join_table => "recipes_recipes" end More importantly -- how does RoR support MULTIPLE self-joins?

I''m experimenting with Rails on the Recipes example first before I dive into applying it to my intended application. I''m exploring which will be more work: to rename all the primary id''s in the legacy database, or to work around the fact that the primary id''s are not called ''id'' within RoR instead. I''ve been successful in using a

Hi, I am trying to perform a query with ActiveRecord that I want to put into a Rails application later. For now I just wrote it within a plain old Ruby script for easier testing. I am working with an existing database so I had to map some foreign keys myself.

I just took my HABTM and turned it into a :through since my join table has another "non-joiny" attribute. I went from this: has_many_and_belongs_to :jobs, :join_table => ''tablename'', :foreign_key => ''x'', :association_foreign_key => ''y'' to this: has_many :jobs, :through =>

Hello everyone, first post to the list and a relative newbie to Rails development. Done quite a bit of JSP, PHP, HTML, XML etc and thought I would kick the tires on Rails to see if it can speed up development for internal applications. Anyway, I am running into a problem that is just driving me crazy and everything I read on the net doesn''t seem to help. I was hoping someone here might

Here''s a simplistic model class. class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :relatives, :class_name => ''Person'', :join_table => ''relatives'', :foreign_key => ''from_id'', :association_foreign_key => ''to_id'' has_and_belongs_to_many :brothers, :class_name =>

Trying to model a bunch of users that have friends that are other users. clearly a job for has_and_belongs_to_many, but the trick is, they have ratings for their friends. I have gone through the Rails Recipes book, and it seems like I''m trying to combine the self-referential many-to-many recipe (12) and the many to many relationships where the relationship itself has data recipe (16). So

I have more or less the same problem. I''m trying to build a system where users can enter their friends. But the solutions seems not to work for me. I used same sql: CREATE TABLE `friends` ( `user_id` int(11) NOT NULL default ''0'', `friend_id` int(11) NOT NULL default ''0'', KEY `user_id` (`user_id`), KEY `friend_id` (`friend_id`),

I have a name table with a primary of item_number. These two tables are liked by the item_number and the order_number, but not as you might think. If the order_number is 2500, then each entry in
