I have 3 tables keywords (keywords attached to a file) files (info about the file) paths (path for the file) [This is a legacy database, so I can''t change this] keyword belongs_to file and file belongs_to path. Users need to be able to search the keywords, but they only have access to certain volumes, so the results need to be limited by the path. I also need to show paging,

I''ve been trying to use Rails on a database where the biggest datawarehouse-style table doesn''t have a primary key. It really doesn''t make sense and just adds extra unnecessary space. I do have, however, a column that I normally use to search on (IP) that returns many rows. The table also references several other tables through rails-friendly foreign keys. Simple AR

Hi I am trying to use active record to copy some data. One of the entry I am copying is type interval (Postgres); however, it lose some precision after I copied that column. Here is what I did: @newData.elapsedtime = @oldData.elapsedtime @newData.save Result: both displayed as 00:00:02.453 in the table, however, if I use the following command to convert its value into float ( SELECT

Something like this: @foos = Foo.find(:all, :conditions => //?? start_date equal to today''s date ??// ] ) Thanks in advance for any help. -------------- next part

Hopefully the subject line didn''t scare you. That said... I have a simple polymorphic relationship (is that possible?): class Part has_many :attachments, :as => :attachable end class Attachment belongs_to :attachable, :polymorphic => true end Calling Part.find(:first).attachments yields this SQL error: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: Unknown column

I need to show a different background color depending on the type of comment posted. The type of comment is determined from a drop-down selection. I figured the simplest way would be to do something like I have below, but I can''t seem to get it to work: <tr <%= puts ''"style = "background: red;"'' if comment.comment_type == ''Hiring

Hi I am trying to get RoR to work with Postgresql 8,2.5 (latest stable version) Steps taken 1. Download Postgresql 1.82 and installed successfully 2. Edited my Database.yml development: adapter: postgresql database: test_development username: postgres password: xxx host: localhost test: adapter: postgresql database: test_test username: postgres password: xxx host: localhost

When I run "rake" using a postgres 8.1 database, I get a bunch of these notices. NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "categories_id_seq" for serial column "categories.id" NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "categories_pkey" for table "categories" How can I avoid those? I take it I need to modify the

Hi, I love ActiveRecord and its simplicity. Person.find(1) It''s so simple but imagine if the table people has 30 columns and there are some columns with type ''bytea'' (or large object / binary data) holding MB-s data, then you only need three columns only with type ''string'', ''string'', ''int''. It''s a waste of

In Postgres, I use different database schemas for each application, by declaring, e.g.: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base ActiveRecord::Base.table_name_prefix = "keywords." end I assumed that the sequence names were also prefixed with the database schema names, e.g. keywords.things_id_seq But Rails 1.2.3 assumes the sequence is *NOT* in the same schema as the

Hi all, I''m working actually on a Control Panel to manage a mail system. Until now, when I create a new mail account, i do an insert and protect the pasword with ENCRYPT(''password'') function. I can''t change the method to SHA1 or MD5 because the SMTPd a IMAPd will not support it. Can you explain me how to force RoR to rewrite the INSERT SQL query and use

sorry again, i''m building a registration form, getting stumped on the country listbox. any ideas how i could build a listbox for countries, taking it''s content from a data table? i''d imagine i''d have to generate a data model for country, fill it in with all the current ISO spec countries; that i can do. then tie that data model to the account controller.

Is there something like MAMP, but uses PostgreSQL instead? I found a couple PostgreSQL dmg''s, but one was < 8.x. For those who use PostgreSQL on Mac, how''d you install it (fink, package, please don''t say compile!)? Thanks, Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I want to show a users entries based on there login id. I have tried this: View: <div id="myfish"> <%= render :partial => ''myfish'', :locals => {:user => session [:user].id } %> </div> Partial: <% for entry in @entries %> <table border ="0" CELLSPACING="0"> <tr class="<%= alternate

I know how to avoid SQL injection attacks when you use :conditions User.find :first, :conditions => ["login=?", params[:username]] but how about with :order, :limit or :group? # uh-oh...spaghetti-oh User.find :first, :order => "login; delete from users; select * from users" Pat --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you

Hi, I am looking for ideas on how to remove the last item from a paginated page when a new item is inserted, thus leaving only 10 elements on the page. Currently I have a form that inserts with AJAX, but as expected, each post added to the page just increases the number of posts leaving 11 on a page that should only be displaying 10. I have unique ID''s for each post (e.g.

Sorry for all the questions today... Beyond the obvious things--models, controllers, helpers, and other framework-related types--where should I put the code for my own types? For example, I was thinking of writing my own AJAX-friendly paginator, but I don''t know where to put the code for that sort of thing. I would prefer to keep things object-oriented, so I would rather do a lot of

I am a Rails noob, working on bringing a legacy db system into the 21st century. I want to localize the UI for two languages (EN/JA). Since I am already using the salted user system, I have been playing around with T. Fuchs'' localization module. Nice and simple, already up and working. But here''s the problem: Japanese text is wrapping weirdly in table cells. I could set

Hi guys, I need your help. Here is my database.yml: development: adapter: postgresql database: db username: username password: mypassword # Connect on a TCP socket. Omitted by default since the client uses a # domain socket that doesn''t need configuration.

Hello, I have tried to install the salted hash login generator by following the quick start guide at: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/SaltedLoginGeneratorQuickstart.
