similar to: ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column value_to_boolean(value) does not return a boolean value.

Hi fantastic rails core developers. Speaking of version 2.3.5: I find it rather error_prone that values such that "some text" is silently converted to false when stored in a boolean DB field. Among other things it means that assign "some text" to boolean fields on a model will not generate any validation messages (it will silently be converted to false). I think it is like

Hello! I''ve modified ActiveRecord a bit to support enum columns. This is tested only with MySQL, and maybe needs some changes for other adapters (if they use another syntax or quoting style). I believe this patch should be tested well, so I haven''t (yet) tried to post it to the official Trac. It is also not solid-as-a-rock when it comes to quoting ENUM values. After

I have a database column given as: t.column :change_address, :boolean The user interacts with this using a checkbox, but wants confirmations to read: Change address: Yes In an isolated case something like: @obj.change_address ? ''Yes'' : ''No'' Would work fine but this is peppered throughout scads of forms and boolean fields. The first step I took at DRYing

I''m working on an existing global database running on MS SQL Server. The appropriate primary key is uniqueidentifier, so I want to set ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SQLServerAdapter#native_database_types[:primary_key] = "uniqueidentifier NOT NULL newid() PRIMARY KEY". Obviously, I need to override the native_database_types definition, but I really don''t know where

Hi, is there a ruby / rails builtin function that converts - 0 / 1 - "0" / "1" - "yes" / "no" - "true" / "false" to a boolean? cheers peter

I have been working through an upgrade of my 1.2.6 application to 2.2.2. I am almost there but I have hit a problem with ActiveRecord. Before the upgrade, the following code was working fine. def create_root(administrator) root = create_root_collection(self.pingee_name, administrator,

Hi all, I just noticed that in ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column.type_cast[1] (and type_cast_code[2]) the type casting for float columns simply does value.to_f, whereas all the others have a rescue or call out to a method, the default implementations of which have rescues or enough logic in that I don''t think they''d fail. Imagine the following: create_table :vehicle do

Hi, I''m using SQL Server. I have a BIT field. I have a fix and a question.

Hi All, I just had this problem come up today and so far I''m stumped. This morning, my mongrels were all completely unresponsive. I had to kill -9 them to get them to go away. I restarted them, but the first time that they were accessed they froze again. Nothing gets printed to the logs. I tried starting a single mongrel and accessing it directly. If I hit CTRL-C before accessing

Hello all, Hoping someone can help me out here. I''ve burned almost a week trying to figure out how to decrypt an image file that has been encrypted using Blowfish CBC. I found some code on the net and have modified as follows: require ''openssl'' require ''digest/sha1'' ivArr = [0x0D, 0x0E, 0x0A, 0x0D, 0x0F, 0x0A, 0x0C, 0x0E ]

Hey All, very simple question for you folks ;) I have a @commutes object that for each record there is a bit value set (0/1) to denote if an accident occurred. What I want to do is have it display "Yes" or "No" when I view the listing of commutes. I can get it to display the bit value just fine with <%= commute.accident %> but how can I get it so that when a record with

Hi! The last 2 day''s I tried create WebService which get back ActiveRecord object, but it''s always get back error. Today I found why.

Hey, I have connected to the oracle db using ActiveRecord and am trying to retrieve tuples. I have one attribute that has datatype ''number(1)''. I found that ActiveRecord maps this attribute to boolean. So it gets a class of either FalseClass or TrueClass. I tried to find the source of the problem and I found oracle_adapter.rb (http://

In order to coerce Rails 1.2.x into supporting Unicode values for an attribute in a model, I found I had to do the following: 1) Change the underlying column type from varchar to nvarchar. 2) Prepend any quoted values going into nvarchar columns with a capital-letter-N, e. g. ''unicode'' becomes N''unicode'' In order to accomplish this, I modified

All, Rails 1.1.6. Any AR find() call that generates a SELECT * type query against a table with a DATETIME column in SQL Server whose value occurs before 1970 will fail, because of the coercion of SQL Server datetime types to Time values in Ruby. See sqlserver_adapter.rb line 490 (record[col] = record[col].to_time if record[col].is_a? DBI::Timestamp) If I remove the coercion (just commenting
