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 mongrel-herders, I''m just wondering what fellow railsers use to rotate their logs in an orderly fashion? I''d like to do something lightweight, i.e. (1) rename the logfile (2, optional) create a new empty logfile and (3) send a signal to each mongrel in the cluster and have them understand it''s time to reopen their log file handles. This is what I do with apache and

Hello all, my first project is on it''s way, and I am loving it! But, and that''s a big BUT: Active Record does not use prepared statements! How is that? Everybody is bragging about performance and the most obvious tuning measure is missing. Ok, I don''t know, if MySQL can even do them as I am using Postgres, but still. I started looking at the code and it is not

Hello, If anyone could help me out with this problem I''d appreciate it... I''m making a database of event bookings, I have an events table and a clients table.

I''m trying to set up shared rails websites, so every user has its own public_html for rails scripts. I''m not really satisfied with the fastcgi approach (cgi scripts can sometimes be nasty security problems) so I''d like to try the another approach. (If someone knows a good tutorial on installing rails on FreeBSD including the fastcgi configuration that would be nice).

Hi all, Is there a way to invoke validations at times other than save, create and update? I know that I can do this by writing my own validation checks using errors.add_[blah], but I''d like to leverage the existing validation code. What I have is two sets of fields in a record, set A and set B. Both sets must be validated on record create. However, the trouble is that after

The staging server (also split with Xen) is set up pretty much identically as far as the mongrel_cluster server is concerned (the production box has two

I still want to get this into Rails for all connection adaptors, but for now I''ve hacked my own addition on for just PostgreSQL. The following code extends every Column object returned by MyModel.columns to support a new #required? method, which indicates if the column may or may not be null.
