I have been playing with the cookbook type of tutorials building a fish tournament scoring piece and am having a bit of a problem with a DB field called "points" in my "catch" table that is not input by the user but is calulated based on a "size" field that is input by the user. I have the following in my catch_controller.db def new @catch = Catch.new @fish =

How does one properly get find_all to grab the data from the DB table ordered by a specific column? For example: @anglers = Angler.find_all This code gets all the angler records and they are sorted in order of the id field which is of course set as a primary key in the DB (mysql). I''d really like to pull the data from the DB sorted in the order of another field, for example

When I use @persons = Find(:all) (for example) and I get back an array of persons, is there an easy way to tell how many rows the find returned? I have been using Persons.count(:all) but you would think Find knows how many it returned -- is the count/array size stored somewhere in the ret array? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The app is at http://www.mydomain.com:myport#/app/list Specifying that complete URL works fine in both browsers.

Hi, I'm new to programming, new to R and even new to mailing lists so please be patient with me. I need to manage many matrices generated by an R program. These matrices have different dimensions and I'd like to group them somehow.

There''s a small inconsistency in ActiveRecord''s callback syntax that has tripped me up before. It wouldn''t be a big deal, but it can lead to a silent failure. I''d like to suggest that it either be made consistent or be made to fail loudly. The issue is that to do something before validating, but only when creating, you use `before_validation on: :create`,

Hi, I need to compare two matrices with each other. If you can get one of them out of the other one by resorting the rows and/or the columns, then both of them are equal, otherwise they're not. A matrix could look like this: [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [1,] 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 [2,] 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 [3,] 1 0 1 0 0

Hello, to implement some some kind of optimistic locking, I want to build a view, where an object is displayed together with a link containing the data of the displayed object.

Le''s say that I have a table called people and the column middle_name is nullable. If the user enters say blank or empty space then in the database it is recorded as empty space.
