Hi, This is just kindof a RoR question, but since you all potentially do the same things as I do, I thought I''ll ask here.. Im trying to use the boolean type in the database.

The join table Communities_Users has additional fields [ is_active, is_blocked, join_date] etc. These are populated using @user.push_with_attributes(:is_active => true,...). Later on how do we update or retrieve the attributes in the link table for a given user or a community with doing it explicitly using SQL? Thanks,
