Hi, As I understand, composite primary keys aren''t supported in ActiveRecord yet. May I ask if there are plans for this feature? Better yet, if this feature is under development, how''s the progress going? I''m not trying to use legacy databases. I tend to think that using multiple integer column id''s (composite primary key) are often natural way to

Hey there, I''ve adjusted some of my many to many join tables recently to use a composite primary key based on the id''s in the two columns - instead of using a surrogate key. I just did a db:schema:dump, and it looks something like this: create_table "class_members", :id => false, :force => true do |t| t.integer "user_id", :default => 0,

Hello, Is it true that Rails doesn''t support composite primary keys? I have a legacy system and was pondering adding a new interface to it. This whole Rails thing (and yes, Ruby too) seems pretty interesting but I''d feel ashamed of myself adding an additional column called ''id'' when there''s already a perfectly good composite key. Assuming the rumors

Hi All, How do I specify a composite primary key for a table in ActiveRecord? For example the table Recipe which has the primary key [cookie id, version number] where cookie id is also a foreign key referencing Cookie. Also: Thanks to Nic and Adam for helping with the Cookie -> Cooky problem. /Hugo --SQL * CREATE* *TABLE* `Raw_Materials`* (* id *INT*

I know ActiveRecord doesn''t support composite primary keys, but I need to use one, and I need it ASAP. I don''t need any composite foreign keys, luckily; what I have is a table that stores old versions of rows in another table, so the composite key is an id + date stamp. Would someone tell me a hack I can use to support this? -- View this message in context:

hello, what is the strategy you use for composite primary keys ? I saw the solution proposed by Graham Glass ( ticket 3201) using a set_composite_key..., but it seems it is not in AR ....(why ?) thanks for feedback arnaud

Hello, I have trouble using read.table for flat files of larger than about 300MB on windows 2000. Any ideas of how to file a bug report? Is it a known issue? I have three cuts of data, a 1%, 10% and 100% sample in flat text files. The 100% sample is about 350MB. When I read the 1% and 10% files, besides being slow, everything works. RAM footprint appears to increase approximately 2x of text

I have a legacy db with the following simplified structure: Table-A: type_key, code_key, name, ... # PKs are type_key and code_key, there is no id col and I cannot alter this db Table-B: # each row has only the code as a foreign_key, the type_key is hard-coded to "FOOKEY" an_id, code, ... Models: class TableB < AR::Base set_table_name ''table_b''

Hi folks, I need your opinions on a basic design issue. I''ve seen the light of RoR and have replaced my Perl (DBI/CGI) based web server <-> RDBMS communication with RoR, but I still have a whole host of users (other servers/OS''s etc) out there wanting to talk to my RDBMS and they only talk Perl. Also they don''t want to talk Perl/DBI directly (they are not allowed

Due to the foolish implied assumption that there''d never be a revision to activerecord library, the Composite Primary Key code promptly broke for anyone who updated their apps to Rails 1.1.6 (with its activerecord-1.14.4) Now the gem dependencies are fixed and your legacy databases are free to wield composite primary keys without fear again. Description: Composite Primary Keys

We are new to R and evaluating if we can use it for a project we need to do. We have read that R is not well suited to handle very large data sets. Assuming we have the data prepped and stored in an RDBMS (Oracle, Teradata, SQL Server), what can R reasonably handle from a volume perspective? Are there some guidelines on memory/machine sizing based on data volume? We need to be able to handle

Announcement: Composite Primary Keys gem now includes support for ActiveRecord Associations. Summary: Composite Primary Keys allows an ActiveRecord to support 2+ primary keys using the set_primary_keys class method. Previous versions provided full CRUD and find support. This latest release provides support for more ActiveRecord magic: associations (has_many, belongs_to, etc) Full report:

Is a RDBMS required for Dovecot to run in small (SOHO) environments? (Does it store indexes to the mail, etc.?) Or is it strictly leveraged for larger-scale environments? I'm asking, because the INSTALL says ./configure and make is enough for most...but as my previous post requested...there isn't anywhere that lists Required Packages/Software. We need to get that out there before 1.0RC

ActiveRecords with composite primary keys now seem to happily support find/create/update/destroy options. Url: http://compositekeys.rubyforge.org Background: Rails/ActiveRecords has long been critised for not supporting legacy databases, especially composite primary keys. This gem extends ARs with this support. Cheers Nic -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, are there people outside who use R for analysis of wind-measurement data (meteorological or for planning of wind power stations)? Are there already scripts/modules available for analysing and displaying/plotting wind data in the way it is done in projection/planning of wind power stations? If not, would it be of interest to use R for this, and therefore adapt data-logger output to R (by

I am trying to validate an integer field called quantity. I don''t know how to chack if it has gone beyond or below the maximum or minimum value allowed by the Firebird RDBMS. I tired adding this code to the validate method in the model: if (quantity > -2147483648) and (quantity < 2147483648) errors.add("quantity", "is out of range (must be between

This may seem off the wall, but can dovecot be configured to support a connection to a database server and use the database server to store the e-mail message and its attachments? While you can use Postgres and MySQL for storing and authenticating users, there is a possibility to use an RDBMs to control the mail itself. Thoughts? -- Michael Segel Principal MSCC

I''ve been trying to use Rails on a database where the biggest datawarehouse-style table doesn''t have a primary key. It really doesn''t make sense and just adds extra unnecessary space. I do have, however, a column that I normally use to search on (IP) that returns many rows. The table also references several other tables through rails-friendly foreign keys. Simple AR
