similar to: yaml for mysql

I''m struggling with several problems getting my first time ruby on rails environment running. I''m now stuck on this problem too. rake db:migrate generates the following error. This one is on a vista machine. Anyone seen this before. Any thoughts or advice? Reading about Ruby on Rails has really got me excited to give it a try. But in practice getting to the point that I can

Hi, something wrong with ActiveRecord or YAML? They don''t put Strings into Quotes when it serializes. This gave me trouble when I serialized a String with a double colon (eg. ''key: value''). After AR unserialized the Value it became a Hash since a String ''key: value'' becomes attribute[:key] => value... :( Sincerely Florian

Hi everybody, I just started thinking about a project and am seeking some help regarding its design. The idea would be to create labels (i.e. address labels).I could let users type the text manually, but I dont think they would appreciate that when they''ll want to print 5000 addresses. I can also probably let them import csv files, that should not be a problem, but playing with those

Hi All, needed some direction for a newbie to RoR. I have done work in Java, .net and perl, and really prefer perl and java over .net, now we are we are looking to start building a financial trading application, most of the team wants to go with .net while I am trying to build the case with Ruby. Some of our classes have been developed in delphi7. Would I be able to use RoR on the front end of

Hi there, I''ve been trying for a few hours now to get RoR and postgresql talking - but I''m very confused about what''s going on (I''m running windows btw). I haven''t created a database in postgresql (I''m assuming that RoR will do that?) my database.yml looks like this: production: adapter: ruby-postgres database: rails_production

My understanding is that, given tables Alpha and Beta that the table which holds the 1-to-1 relation will be called Alpha_Beta (or is it alpha_beta?). So far so good. alpha_beta will have, lets say, two fields: alpha_id and beta_id. Seems that it''d be a good idea for those two fields to form a compound primary key, ensuring there are no duplicates. However, RoR doesn''t

I can''t create tables via rake db:migrate without encountering this error: rake aborted! ./db/migrate//001_create_users_table.rb:11: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting kEND The 001_create_users_table.rb file contains: class CreateUsersTable < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table "users" do |table| end def self.down end end I''ve

Hello, i have a question about a problem i can''t figure out how to solve. I have a standard RoR application made with the classic MVC model, and I need to (for example) edit a value in a table with a time-based rule. EX: starting table: user | money ---------------- | john | 500 after 1 minute: user | money ---------------- | john | 510 etc..

Hi, I am doing my first steps with RoR and I have the following problem: I execute my migration file with the following content on a MySQL-database via Rake: <code> class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :users do |t| t.integer :id t.string :username, :size => 100 t.string :password, :size => 100 t.string :email, :size

Hi all, I wonder how can I solve in RoR the problem of accessing a simple table because the URL http://localhost:3000/customers/show/2.0 is raising an Oracle error OCIError: ORA-01722: invalid number. The reason of this error is because the SELECT statement generated by ActiveRecord tries to invoke the id column as a VARCHAR : "... FROM customers WHERE customers.id =

Hi... I am new to RoR development, and Web development in general (but have about 25 years of IT/software experience - just not in the Web area)... I have a really good RoR 2.X book that I have read and reread a few times and starting to try to apply what I read... Have a Web app that I need to write at work, and prove to folks that RoR is THE_WAY, despite their ASP .NET protests otherwise... So,

Hello everyone, For some time I was studying Ruby on Rails, Active Record ideology and other thing related with RoR right now I still know a lot more about PHP than RoR. I am almost ready to start writing websites using RoR and get more experience. But I still have some questions before starting and I can''t start without answers. If you could simply answer some of them, would be great.

I''ve discovered something really weird in rails 1.2.3 (It could be fixed in 2.0? but I don''t know). Recently I started getting the error "Mysql::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query" in my application. It seemed like it had popped up almost without relation to anything. There was a page in the RoR wiki with possible solutions but none of them had worked

Hi all, This is my first post to the forum, and I''ll point out right away that I''m a noob to everything, Ruby, Rails, MySQL, etc., so I expect that I''m wrong here, but is the ''year'' datatype missing from ActiveRecord in 2.0.2? According to my MySQL 5.0 reference manual, ''year'' is a datatype, but when I try to run a migration that has

I am new to RoR. How do you specify the size of a string column in a migration? The examples I''ve see are all of the form: t.column :name, string which produces a VARCHAR(255). I want a VARCHAR(40).

Hi, I''m still a new with ROR, but it''s really cool :) I just have this problem with a project of mine. I want to store email in a database. I already wrote a simple import script, that works, so that''s not a problem. Showing the email (efficiently) in a ROR site is. These tables are in the database: emails id email_id (foreign key -> emails.id) seq

Hello, I had an application on Rails 1.2 or 1.1 (don''t remember). Now I have updated it to 2.1. I had a migrations_helper.rb in the Libs directory which defined foreign_key and drop_foreign_key methods. But now migrate task doesn''t find them. Have I to include this directory somewhere with Rails 2.1? Doesn''t it work as always? Could I use another thing to declare

I am a total Ruby/RoR n00b having just started reading the ''Ruby on Rails Bible'' book two days ago. I''ve been trying to work out through the introductory ''Your first ruby on rails application'' section, but I''ve run into problems already! The book goes on about creating the view templates and naming them with the *.html.erb extension, but I get

Hi, I''m currently running an apache/jboss cocoon/flow/hibernate/ajax paypal (directpayment) project and am looking into the possibility of porting it across to ruby/rails. For that reason I would like to know the following: 1. Can I call my java classes or would I be looking at a complete rewrite in ruby? 2. How effective is ruby in terms of seperation of concerns regarding design from
