Vertical and horizontal partitioning of tables are possible roads to increase performance. In your opinion would splitting this database into several databases be beneficial to increase performance as well? The project ...
I have an ActionController derived Test which sends a 'post' request to the controller under test with incorrect data. The controller tries to create a new object and save it. The model has validation methods that get triggered on save and they generate a validation error detecting the incorrect data sent by test. So far so good. Now, c...

In my rails applications I use (other peoples) gems all the time, I also use plugins from the community or my own. I understand the benefits of use gems over plugins as they are version-able, se...

I'm developing a Rails app that by default sets up user accounts to a subdomain of their choosing. As an option, they will be able to map their own full domain to their account.

In my model "Post.rb", I'm trying to have it only return posts if column deleted is 0. In other words, when the user deletes posts, it doesn't remove the item from the database, but rather turns deleted to 1. So if I run Post.find(:all), I want it to automatically add the condition "deleted = '0'". How do I go about doing this from my...
In my Post.rb model, I have default_scope :conditions => {:deleted => 'false'} But if I try to run Post.find(:all, :conditions => "deleted='false'"), it won't return anything. It's as if the default_scope takes precedence over everything. I want it so that when I do Post.find() it doesn't return deleted posts, but I'd also like to b...
