Hi everyone! I have a problem with defining 2 fk referencing the same table. I have a Program table and a Team table. The Program should have an away team and a home team fk.

How can I do this?

Hey guys, I just came across this oddity, not sure what to make of it yet, but I think it might be incorrect behavior. When doing a @inst.find(:all, :include => ["hometeam", "awayteam"] ...) hometeam and awayteam are two references from a belongs_to that is of the same model and of the same table. I will get a pgerror stating that "matches", which is

I am having a problem with doing a :through that goes back to the same table.

All, If I have a table that has several discrete fields that all point to the same associated field, how do I model it. Specifically, If I have a project table that has 2 fields: specifying_company, and responsible_company. And one table of associated companies, how do I do the :belongs_to / :has_many stuff ie. For a given project company A may be writing the spec, but company B may be paying

I thought I had this nailed but.. now I''m seeing spots.. I''ve included my models below, feel free to ignore them. I''m really just after an example that works. I couldnt find one on the wiki... which is fair enough considering Ricks patch: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/4022 that fixed them only went through 5 days ago.. Cheers -henster

Hi all, I''m confused about how I''m supposed to specify a belongs_to relationship when the table includes multiple columns that reference the same parent table. In my case I have a "schedules" table with "opened_by" and "closed_by" columns, that both reference the "users" table. In theory, they can be two different user ids. table

Hi, I have a self-referential has_many :through relationship setup to track relationships between users.
