hi, I have a table without an ID column. When I try to delete from it using ActiveRecord the generated SQL is DELETE FROM table_name WHERE ID=NULL, which obviously doesn't work. Is there any way to delete from the table using ActiveRecord, or at least run a raw SQL delete query with placeholders (so it's not vulnerable to SQL injection)...

I'm following the instructions here, and so far so good, but I'm having trouble figuring out this part: Lastly, download your target version from the ruby odbc project page and do a MD5 checksum on it. What exactly am I supposed to be running MD5 on? The tar file? extconf.rb? I've been poking around for awhile but I just don't ...

At that point, I want to create a new MatchHistory object, which does inherit from ActiveRecord. The array itself is also an object (Round). I wonder if my o...
I have the following drop down box in a form for rails: <%= f.select (:boolean, options_for_select([["Yes", 1], ["No", 0]])) %> Other drop down boxes in the same form post correctly, but this one posts null. Others in the same form: <%= f.select (:kids_in_college, %w{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8}) %> #posts correctly <%= f.select (:year, %w{2009-...
My rails site posts to a secure host (e.g. 'https://secure.yourname.com') when the user logs into the site. Session data is stored in the database, with the cookie containing only the session ID. The problem is that when the user returns to a non-https page, such as the home page (e.g. 'http://www.yourname.com') the user appears to hav...

Now that Rails has timestamped migrations, the single version number at the top of /db/schema.rb seems pointless. Sometimes the version number ends up incorrect when dealing with multiple developers, multiple branches, ... Does rails even utilize that :version parameter anymore? And is there any harm in it being incorrect (as in doesn...

This is a little general I know, but it's been bugging the hell out of me. I've been working on lots of rails projects remotely with Git and every time I do a git pull and see that there is some sort of data change (migration, or schema.rb change) I do a rake db:migrate. These generally run fine and I can continue working. But if you d...
