Hi, for some reason, all timestamp fields with or without time zone in my Postgres tables seem to be casted to nil. From console: >> me = User.find(''PS12345'') => #<User:0x2379788 @attributes={"mtime"=>"01.03.2006 13:26:32.737166", "valid"=>"8", "valid_from"=>"01.03.1999 14:09:21 CET",

the compiler tell me it: invalid column name: INSERT INTO ago.prova_stats (cognome, nome, id, telefono) VALUES(''Medda'', ''Ivan'', :id, 70565611) where ago.prova_stats is the table used by me and that have only the columns ''cognome'',''nome'' and ''telefono''. My table hasn''t the column

Hi, I read the example in http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoUseMultipleDatabases, it show us how to connect to other database, each time we start a new action, however, this doesn''t work while you try to connect to two different database within the same action. SO I wonder is it possible to bind to two or more database within the same action???? Thanks you very much Saiho

Hi all - New to rails... been reading as much as I can though and have yet to find a solid answer (although I think I found an unsolid negative). I''m wondering if there''s a way to split up the reads and writes in Rails so that pages/actions that don''t need to write can query from a group of mirrored databases. And my content managers can update a single master. I

Hi Everyone, I am trying to connect to multiple databases and followed along the Recipe in Chad Fowlers ''Rails Recipes'' book (which basically is about establishing the connection in a subclass of ActiveRecord::Base, and inheriting all classes in need of this connection from this class) Chad Fowler says: "You won''t be able to instantiate an External, of course,

Dear all Please see the following module, In module SX3 SX4 and SX5 have similar class Tasklist, but inherit from different class. I will use the following code to connect to different data sources RemoteSX3Model.establish_connection sx3_hash RemoteSX4Model.establish_connection sx4_hash RemoteSX5Model.establish_connection sx5_hash How can I refactor my code in module to look simpler? Thank you

I have two databases in SQLite with the same schema. The other database was populated by an external customer and then returned. I want to use ActiveRecord to do the comparison. I am not sure of the best way to access the tables in each database with ActiveRecord models. I could change the connection dynamically whenever I want to switch between the databases, but this would seem to be clumsy

HI Guys, I recently tried VERY hard to override the database configuration bassed on ENV vars or actual API calls. This task is almost next to impossible. I know that the database.yml file is parsed as ERB but that is sane for simple ENV replacement if you want to actually change which database adaptor it is (requires extra config/params) it becomes messy. I found

I have a separate DB for one model in my application and in development mode the connection is working properly, in production however it isn''t. production: adapter: mysql host: myhost username: root password: database: production_db users_production: adapter: mysql host: myhost username: root password: database: other_db The model that connects to the other

Hi all, is there a way in RoR to dynamically set the table to which the Model must refer to? I''d like to create a sorta "dispatcher" that chooses the table for the Model based on an HTTP/GET var. To put it in another way my Model would be fed with data coming from different tables based on this var passed from the querystring. Thanks, Lorenzo -- Posted via

Dear all, Please help me in this regards, I am using models to access LegacySchemas using set_table_name and set_primary_key... [code for model] class CdDetails < ActiveRecord::Base def self.find_data set_table_name ''cd_details'' set_primary_key ''cd_label'' find (:first, :select => "cd_label") end

I have to extract data from an odbc connection to another database and put into a MySQL database so that my rails app can manipulate it. What would be the best way to set that up? Would I put the connection info in a controller, so that the controller method with open and close the connection? Any thought? -- Best Regards, -Larry "Work, work, work...there is no satisfactory

i realise that this goes against the basic idea of the MVC architecture, but i''ve found myself in a situation where i need to get information about the current user in a model & i''m not sure how to do it. Basically, we have a product where each customer has their own profile with data stored in a separate database. There are some tables in a common

Hi everyone, I was wondering what the common practice for handling multiple db users with fine grained privileges on multiple databases is. Against the often read guideline for rails users to keep with a single db as "more dbs don''t really make sense anyway", my opinion is that it DOES make sense to use more than one db schema for a number of reasons that I won''t

First of all, sorry for the crossposting, but I put this into the Ruby Forum first of all, but was pointed to this as a more appropriate location. I''m using ActiveRecord and ActiveSupport in a non-rails environment to connect to multiple databases, and I''ve found the following (single database) to cause me an error. Note that params is my database settings and omitted for

Hi everybody, I''m experiencing trouble when trying to use ruby-postgres with a legacy database I need access to. To me it seems the problem is the VARCHAR columns used there as primary keys. On a simple me = User.find(''PS12345'') I get a type error exception with the message ''can''t convert String into Integer''. The trace is:

Hi, I have a legacy database ''old'' and a new database ''new'' which rails uses. I set up models using old with establish_connection(old), and this works well, except for include: class OldModel < ActiveRecord::Base establish_connection(old) end class NewModel < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :old_model end a = OldModel.find :first NewModel.find(:all,

Hello Rails community I cannot seem to find via Google what I had hoped would be a simple issue On a single DB system (currently, postgres 8.1.4), I have two databases, each containing multiple tables. I would like to configure my app and database.yml to recognize these two databases. What is the corrrect config for the database.yml ? Is it something like: > production: > adapter:

I am working on reconfiguring an app that we are about to release to work tighter with another app that we already have. Both of these apps are going to share a single users database that stores the general information about the user such as login, password, name, email and so forth. They also have app specific stuff that is attributed to the user that is stored in the app''s own
