consider scenario, User model with name, birth_date fields (here birth_date is not mandatory field) inside view form birth_date is assigned as ''31/31/1985'' which is invalid ideally user object should be invalid and while save raise an error on birth_date field but that''s not happening and user object gets saved with birth_date as blank which is completely misleading.

Hi Is there any way to temporarily stop the updated_at field from being updated when a record is modified with ActiveRecord? I have a date field which is keeping track of when the record data was last checked by my application and my app manually updates it, of course when I do this the updated_at field is also touched making it fairly useless for finding out when the actual data was changed

This is for Rails 3.1.1 I have a field called last_seen in a model. This field will be updated when the something about the record is seen in the real world (don''t worry about this part) So I go x.update_attribute(:last_seen, Time.now) and the following happens is UPDATE "blah" SET "last_seen" = ''2012-10-23 08:57:46.179288'', "updated_at"

I am trying to speed up some DB operations and perhaps have gone overboard with indexes. Does MySQL usually use only one index per query and simply match keys on the results of the indexed first part? For example: DELETE FROM tokens WHERE 6813946236211560448 <= fnv AND fnv < 6818449835838930944 AND updated_at<''2010-06-20 14:08:55'' AND occurrences=0; If I understand

I''ve got User has_one Shop. Rails is not validating when I tried create_shop or build_shop, neither in the browser nor the rails console. My code: class Shop < ActiveRecord::Base attr_protected :user_id belongs_to :user validates_presence_of :name, :primary_address, :city, :country_code, :currency end class ShopsController < ApplicationController before_filter

With a has_one/belongs_to relationship, what''s the best way to guarantee that the belongs_to object gets created and is accessible alongside the has_one object? I *think* the after_create callback is a good choice, but I discovered an oddity while trying it. F''rinstance, if every horse has a carriage: ============ ActiveRecord::Schema.define do create_table(:horses) {|t|
