I would like to know the recommended approach to ensuring referential
integrity. For example, if I had a comments table, I would like to
make sure that the comments.post_id was not null and that it referred
to an existing post.

Should I use an approach like this in the comment model:
validates_presence_of :post
validates_associated :post

Or should I use the red hill plugin: http://www.redhillonrails.org/

Should I just assume ActiveRecord will keep the referential integrity?
This does not seem like a popular approach.

Here is another discussion on the topic:

Thanks...
