similar to: Change Ruby on Rails' reserved words?

Hi, all. Last saturday, we've done a cutover for Samba 2.0.5a to be our new fileserver. All is going well, except for two network users that make me reboot the server. What happens is as follows: * user logs on onto samba server; * user opens and closes files, etc, OK until in one of these operations his/her machine hangs; * user reboots his/her machine to log on again. In this

I''ve seen this topic has been discussed a couple of times. However, I''m wondering if a method exists in rails to test a name against the reserved words listed on the wiki? Just wanted to check before I write this myself (and type in all of those names -- including PostgreSQL). To explain the application: I''ve written a project that manages ldap data. On a fresh

I''m playing with an online store.... I have an orders table which holds orders (pricing, statuses, etc). An orderDetails table which holds detailed line items (itemNumbers, unit prices, etc). Each order can have multiple shipping addresses, so I also have an addressbook table. Each orderDetail is tied to an addressbook entry via the ordernumber and addressbook alias, but this

Hello, people at SAMBA list. I'm going thru the same problem that Nicholas Williams has described in samba-list first (see references below), and I'm implementing the solution you've decribed in the list (SO_KEEPALIVE, etc). But I'm stuck with the script issue, as I run RedHat Linux 6.0 which doesn't use ksh but pdksh instead. The ksh script doesn't run in pdksh

Hi, I''m a complete newbie to this, I''m afraid. Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but I''ve had a look, and can''t find the answers I''m looking for, especially for using Rails 2.0. We have an existing database which we would need to connect Rails to, and the database structure is not what Rails would seem to expect. Firstly, tables are not

Hello, I''ve a model defined as class Account < ActiveRecord::Base end This maps a mysql table Accounts. I want to be a able to dynamically change this model. During the life of my app, the table Accounts may change name, how do I do a set_table_name not within account.rb? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

How can I pass something to set_table_name so that I can switch tables on the fly for accessing archive data? If I could access sessions inside a model I would do something like: if @session[:current_period] set_table_name "statistics_" + @session[:archive_year] else set_table_name "statistics_" + Date.now.year end But since I cannot access the session from within a

Hi there I have a Value class in my Rails app; however ''values'' is a reserved word in MySQL so in my value.rb file, I''ve declared set_table_name as ''vals''. However, in setting up my specs for this model, I''m hitting errors that seem to be resulting from rspec not seeing the set_table_name declaration in my model file. For instance,

I am working with an existing database and have to keep all table and field names as they are. ''tblcustomers'' and ''tblitems'' are linked by the ''tblcustomers'' id field ''tblcustomersid''. In ''tblitems'', the foreign key is called ''txtcustomerid''. I have already set the customers model to

Hi Everyone, I am trying to connect to multiple databases and followed along the Recipe in Chad Fowlers ''Rails Recipes'' book (which basically is about establishing the connection in a subclass of ActiveRecord::Base, and inheriting all classes in need of this connection from this class) Chad Fowler says: "You won''t be able to instantiate an External, of course,

Hi all, I''m running Rails on top of a Mongrel cluster. I have several model classes that are going to have so many records it is not feasible to keep them all in the same table. So I''ve split out the records into many different tables, each with its own suffix which corresponds to the id of the model to which all records in that particular table belong. For example,

Hi, I read the example in http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoUseMultipleDatabases, it show us how to connect to other database, each time we start a new action, however, this doesn''t work while you try to connect to two different database within the same action. SO I wonder is it possible to bind to two or more database within the same action???? Thanks you very much Saiho

I''m getting this error in webrick then it crashes leaving nothing in the log. ruby: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/lib/mysql.so: undefined symbol: mysql_sqlstate Here is the standard query I would normally write to get the data. select * from child,parent where CONCAT(SUBSTRING(child.item_number,1,14,''00'') = parent.order_number and

Is there a more definitive list of reserved words in Rails than the one at http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/ReservedWords ? While it''s nice to read war stories of Wiki users running into these issues, it might be nicer to get a canonical, using-these-variable-names-is-asking-for-trouble list from the developers. As an example, I had a model "Build" (as in a software

If I understand things correctly, by default, Rails expects both the ActiveRecord class name and the model name (i.e., the name of the file that contains the definition of the ActiveRecord class) to be the singluar of the table name. How can I override this default behavior with respect to the model name? That is, I would like to have the file name of the file that contains the definition of the

I wanted a data frame component to be named "next", for example: > m <- data.frame (matrix (0, nrow=2, ncol=2)) > names (m) <- c("prev", "next") > m prev next 1 0 0 2 0 0 But "next" being reserved prevents $ indexing without quotes: > m$next Error: syntax error > m$"next" [1] 0 0 Although they are mostly

Hi list, I am writing several functions and running out variable names. I am using words such as "t", "c", "matrix" to keep the notation same as formulas I am using. For example I have, unnormalized <- function(t, x, y){ val <- rnorm(t, mean=x, var=y) return(val) } metropolis <- function(t, c, x, y){ den1 <- unnormalized(t, mean=x, sd=y)

This is my first rails app with a legacy database and I''m having a terrible time getting the models set up correctly. I have an order table that has a primary field named order_number. 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

I have some legacy tables that I used set_table_name on, I''m attempting to write a method that will get key value from a sequence table and then update it and return a value. I''m hoping to put this in the base ActiveRecord method so I would like to reference the table name with self.table_name or something... class Contacts < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name
