Hello-- There must be a better way to do this. I have a class method in my model that finds averages and does a few calculations using find_by_sql. The problem I¹m encountering is that all computed columns from MySQL come back as type string. E.g., def self.find_averages(domain_id) if @@domain_average return @@domain_average else @@domain_average =

Hi, I'd like to check the existance of a NOT NULL constraint for a given attribute using ActiveRecord. Is this possible or do I have to painstakingly query the information_schema myself? I need this for some reflection in a custom association. Thanks, - Rowan -- Morality is usually taught by the immoral. _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list

I wanted to add a login string column to an existing table => I created a migration : ... def self.up add_column "members", "login" , :string, :null => false end ... remark: it shouldn''t work, as the table is not empty (=> ''login'' would be null in the existing rows.) problem: rake migrate didn''t complain

I''d like to propsoe that the RubyOnRails mailing list forks into three lists. PROBLEM: * The list is getting swamped with traffic, making it hard to use and even harder to follow. * Many, many messages get lost, with no reply. * Due to the overwhelming traffic, it''s hard for beginners to get the help that they need, since their messages get lost in the shuffle, and

Hi According to rdoc: value - the cookie''s value or list of values (as an array). So, I can use arrays, briliant. But....

Did a git-pull and built samba4, up and running with winbind. I have a file server, which will be access by windows. Say I have a user named "abcde" (uid = 1000), under group "abcde) (gid = 1000). When I created a user with samba-too (samba-tool newuser abcde xxxxx), it creates an account "abcde" with mapped uid 300018 under group user users. I am really wondering if

Hi, I am trying to use ruby int an embedded web server. The environment does not have the luxury of CGI or WebBrick. I find limited documentation on how to get this to work. As a test program on windows, I tried the code in the section below. I have the issues. 1. Is public/dispatch.rb the right script to invoke a rails app? If so, what is the right way to invoke dispatch.rb? 2.

Hi everyone, I''m new to Rails and web development. I just bought up the Agile book and I''ve got a question about the :session_expires option. In the book, page 317, it says the :session_expires "option should probably not be used." Does anyone know why? The book doesn''t explain or give any indication as to why. In an application I''m working on

Dear R users! I am using R Version 1.7.1, Windows XP, package "foreign" (Version: 0.6-1), SPSS 11.5.1. There is one thing I noticed with "read.spss", and I'd like to ask if this is considered to be a feature, or possibly a bug: When reading character columns, character strings seem to get filled with blanks at the end. Simple example: In SPSS, create a file with one

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The recent discussions about archiving CDs with flac prodded me to get abcde working again. I've filed a debian bug report with patches to the latest abcde that enable generating a toc file from the disc with cdrdao (rips CD-TEXT data and creates index points from subcode data). Combined with my patches to toc2cue, this is enough to rip even

Hi, I am a Rails noob. Suppose you have: --- class Animal < ActiveRecord::Base end class Mammal < Animal end class Cow < Mammal end --- I provide Animal,Mammal and Cow controllers with the scaffolding, just to test and to fill up the Animal table. I can see the "type" column getting it''s value set with the class name. So far, soo good. Now, since listing Animals

Erik, The command used by abcde is metaflac --no-utf8-convert --import-cuesheet-from=/home/me/Audio/abcde.50107806/cue-50107806.txt --import-tags-from=- /home/me/Audio/abcde.50107806/track1.flac but I get the same result re-trying without the --no-utf8-convert and -no-utf8-convert. Here's the cuesheet: PERFORMER "William Shakespeare" TITLE "A Midsummer

Erik, I don't know what abcde would be providing as tags, or why on Earth it would be importing that from stdin. Unfortunately, abcde is a bash script, and so not exactly easy for me to read. I haven't gotten any response from posting on their mailing list. I do get the same crash when running metaflac without the --import-tags-from, so I'm not sure this is the problem. Unless

Hi, i have a vector filled with names: [1] Alvaro Adela ... [25] Beatriz Berta ... ... [100000] ... I would like to drop last character in every name. I use the next program: for (i in 1:100000) { ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? largo <- nchar(names[i]-1) ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? names[i] <- substring (names[i],1,largo] ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?} Is another and faster way of do it? Thanks,

I have read some posts about using FLAC to archive CD collections and would like to get some feedback. I am torn between creating a bin and cue file with CDDB info and compressing that down with FLAC as a single file or the second method of ripping all the files out to wav and converting to FLAC and maybe saving the cue file in attempt to use it later. The first method I believe will pretty much
