Due to the foolish implied assumption that there''d never be a revision to activerecord library, the Composite Primary Key code promptly broke for anyone who updated their apps to Rails 1.1.6 (with its activerecord-1.14.4) Now the gem dependencies are fixed and your legacy databases are free to wield composite primary keys without fear again.

I side with David when it comes to databases. They suck! Just my own opinion. So what about the people who don''t want to define validations and stuff in the database, but still want to be DRY. I really hate how the schema is separate from my models. I kind of like how Django defines the table attributes in the model. I was think about trying something like that in Rails. You could

We spent a big chunk of yesterday hunting down a strange bug in one of our rails apps and created a test project to try out different theories on what was going on. The result so far is a very small test case app that perfectly reproduces the problem. The question is, is there anything *wrong* with what we''re doing here, or is it a problem with ActiveRecord? We''re on rails

I have a model Product with an attribute ''brand''. Currently it is a simple attribute, however, I am migrating it to a separate model Brand so that I can have other attributes with each brand. I created the the model and created and ran the migration to create the new table. So far so good. Then I created a separate migration to transfer the data. The up method

Hi everyone, For one of our projects we have a need to deploy and maintain a demo. As a result I''ve attempted to setup a set of rake tasks for the job. My goal is have one rake task called "deploy_demo" which purges the database, migrates to the current schema, and loads the db from a set of fixture files in a specified location. I''ve written two new tasks the perform
