similar to: 1 or true in TINYINT(1) column?

Hey all -- I''ve been using enumerable char(1)''s with ''y'' and ''n'' values for my Boolean columns in Rails, but it strikes me there should be a better way. How do you setup columns that represent true/false-ness in your schemas on Rails? Wondering what kind of standard approaches there are other than me writing something like class MyEntity

So i had a boolean attribute in my model which gets interpreted to tinyint(1) in mysql by rails migrations. Now tinyint(1) accepts a range in mysql and i want to change my boolean attribute to an attribute which can accept 3 values(0,1,2). I made the change to the view and when i post the form selecting the selecting the value ''2'', it still gets saved as a ''0''.

Hi, Everything is in the title. With Rails 2.3.4 and MySQL 5.0.41: If have a table like this: +----------------+------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------------+------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL |

I have concluded that it is impossible to get this background process stable. I am out of ideas and could really use some help. Here is what I have: 50 workers, just running an infinite loop that constantly calls save! on a model. Keep in mind this is just for testing purposes. I catch all exceptions and put them in the log. I am tried setting allow_concurrency to true and false. Neither

I''m trying to pass a method to another object/method as a variable. Example one, login 1 works just fine. def login1 @driver.Login(username, password) end However, if I try to pass "Login" to the driver as an argument (example two Login 2), I get "undefined method `command_string'' for #<SOAP::RPC::Driver:0x316dc28>" "Login" is a legit

Since all my efforts to control how to_xml() is formatting dates has failed, I''m now considering writing my own to_xml(). However, from the limited examples I''ve found, I just don''t understand how to actually reference the columns for the records in my record set.

Hi, since rails 2.2 doesn''t work with gettext anymore I decided to use a gettext dummy method until the gettext team relases a working version for rails 2.2. My application doesn''t need any i18n support right now and this way i figured it would be very easy to integrate gettext later. Just setup the plugin and go. So I need a method called _ which is available in alle models,

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/1117 I''ve attached a patch to ticket 1117 which fixes it so that booleans are escaped as booleans, not integers. Specifically, this situation will now work find_all(["send_date=? and sent=?", Date.today, false]) Which matches peoples expectations, but it causes some problems with the postgresql unit tests. Specifically, the use of

It appears that you cannot use migrations (out of the box) with mysql 4.0.16, because when creating a table, the statement says "ENGINE=InnoDb", instead of "TYPE=InnoDB". Looking at the source code for the adapter, this appears to be hard coded. Is there any supported way to make this work with older versions of MySQL? David

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, Anyone got any cool tricks for converting a Rails site (in this case, a typo installation) from a mysql database to a postgresql database? I''ve got it almost working -- I''m doing a SQL dump from mysql and loading it into postgres. However, mysql does booleans as a tinyint with 0 = false and 1 = true. When I try to import that into a postgres database that expects booleans
