Join table not being populated
Hello,
I have the usual Categories and Products table scenario, mediated by a
Categories_Products join table. When I create a new Product and into a
given Category, I notice that my join table is not being populated.
Shouldn''t the join Categories_Products table be populated?
Thanks,
gk

Many to Many Category structure with itself
Basically, I''m trying to have a table called "categories" have a many to
many relationship with itself. But I also want each catagory to be able
to be "copied" into another category so it is essentially a child
category to more than one parent. To me the obvious way of doing this is
by creating another table called category_maps (and a model called
CategoryMap).

Finding the closest match?
I am trying to do a search for a crazy problem. Anyways, the search can
only contain one word and the database it''s searching contains one word
per row. Basically if someone tries to search for a word I want to find
the closest match.
Ex:
If someone types "cat" and "cat" is not in my database, but "bat" is,
how could I select bat?

has_many :through with a polymorphic join
Hi,
Four tables: users, user_counties, uk_counties and us_counties.
Each user has many counties, and each county has many users, so I
decided to make user_counties a polymorph, so it can have counties
from different countries (each country requires a completely different
set of tables with a completely different set of properties, that''s
why there''s one table for uk_counties and

has_many :through scope on join attribute

I have a has_many :through. It''s a basic mapping of
Project

What I would like to do is have different roles so I can have in the project

Multiple belongs_to
Let''s say I have a catalog with hotels. Each hotel belongs to a
category (4-star, 5-star etc.) This is it''s official category.However,
there is also a category that users assign and a category that
"independent reviewers" assign. So I have this:
hotels {
id,
category_id,
reviewer_category,
user_category
}
categories {
id,

has_many :through and foreign key parameters
I just took my HABTM and turned it into a :through since my join table
has another "non-joiny" attribute.
I went from this:

:foreign_key => ''x'',
:association_foreign_key => ''y''

Storing additional data on join tables with Rails
Hi there
I need to store additional attributes on join table. Searching the
Wiki [1] revealed two possible methods:
1) push_with_attributes, as described by Justin Palmer [2].
Unfortunately, "this method is now deprecated" [3]. Even if it wasn''t,
there seem to be inherent problems with that approach, for example
with updating those additional attributes, though Joshua Muheim

Problems with multiple ''id'' columns in a join_table

generated by ActiveRecord is correct, but there are two columns called
''id'', and the final object gets the ''wrong'' column ...

There''s a People table, with id, name, and a few things.

has_many :through with has_many/has_many join models
It seems that using a join model that joins with two has_many''s will
fail to generate proper SQL

belongs_to :semester
has_many :discipline_records, :through => :semester
end
class Semester < ActiveRecord::Base

What is has_many :through really buying you over HABTM?
So having just learned how to do has_many :through as opposed to HABTM,
and then, being concerned that I wouldn''t get it to work, I started
thinking about these two approaches.
It seems to me that the _only_ problem that the HM:T (has_many :through)
approach solves that HABTM doesn''t is the issue of the potential
collision of id columns between your join table and one of

many to one :through another
Since has_one :colour :through => :species isn''t supported (for some
reason unknown to me), can anyone forsee any problems that the
following workaround might cause (in the Photo class).
has_many :artists, :through => :artist_photos
has_one :artist_photo
So effectively, the has_many statement gives me the through
functionality I need, but the has_one restricts the program to only

I have this code that is using svn externals with rails EDGE working

HABTM join table has an "ID" column - is this an issue?
All,
I''m building model objects for existing tables that I cannot modify.
In AWDWR, Dave says "Note that our join table has no id column...The
second reason for not including an id column in the join table is that
AR automatically includes all columns from the join tables when
accessing rows using it. If the join table included a column called id,
its id would overwrite the id

habtm on an array (or object.habtm.habtm)
Hi,
I have three Models: User, Group and File.
User habtm groups
and
Group habtm Files
How can I find all files that a particular user has access to?
eg user.groups.files ?
As user.groups returns an array, the above doesn''t work.
Id like to find the files for all groups in that array, without adding
any code to the User model.
Thanks in advance

find() with id array - can i preserve the ordering?
Sort of a newbie question - sorry if it''s been asked before and I missed it
in my search.
I have an id_array of Author ids, and I want to retrieve the associated
Author models as quickly as possible, but also preserve the ordering of the
id_array.
Using Author.find(id_array) returns the records, but not in the same order.
Is there some flag I can pass to find() to preserve the order? I
