Hey all, I''m learning AR and I''m trying to find the best way to search an ActiveRecord set in order to make a conditional statement decision, something like .has_value?(value) but for a multi-dimensional array like an AR set of like 100 rows. I know I can do something like this: results = Table.find_by_sql("...") for result in results if

I want to find the last record for each person_id in a data frame (from a SQL database) ordered by date. Is there a better way than this for loop? for (i in 2:length(history[,1])) { if (history[i, "person_id"] == history[i - 1, "person_id"]) history[i, "order"] = history[i - 1, "order"] + 1 # same person else history[i,

This puzzles me. If I start asterisk in the background, and then attach to it to perform some chores, is there a way to detach again without stopping the background process? Entering "stop now" kills both the console attachment as well as the background process.

I discovered an interesting aspect of has_many behavior that I''m struggling to work around. I''m not sure if I''m doing something wrong, or if it''s a legitimate bug, or if it''s an inherent part of Rails that I just have to learn to deal with. It boils down to these two problems: - changes in collection objects (i.e. models that belong_to a container

I''ve been puzzling over how to test that attr_accessible has been set for the correct columns; but the tests I''ve come up with so far seem to fail to fail when I expect. I came across this old message from this list: http://www.mail-archive.com/rspec-users at rubyforge.org/msg01570.html Which seemed like a plausible example, but my attempt (modeled on the example)

I have a Person model. Person has_many lab_urls. The LabUrl model has a title and a url, which are both required. Now, I want to update a LabUrl object and stick some invalid data in there. And I want the person that has that invalid LabUrl to now be invalid, too. That doesn''t seem like too much to ask for. How can I do that? Right now, this is happening: >> me = Person.find(1)

I''m selecting data into a controller and sorting it. The code (in the controller) looks like this: def index @assignments = [] tasks = Task.find(:all, :conditions => ["person_id = ? and actual_end_date is null", session[:user].id.to_s ]) issues = Issue.find(:all, :conditions => ["person_id = ? and status <>

Hi there, I''m currently building a membership application and I want to be able to select, not just all the memberships, but the most current membership from the database on a per user basis. I have linked the tables as shown:- class Membership < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :payment belongs_to :person end class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :memberships

Every now and then I will find two distinct records in the "people" table that represent the same human being. They generally differ by small differences in spelling but should really be the
