Frankly, that kind of > talk scares me. But what are the steps for reinitializing? I have no idea. Hasn't really been a problem here. Sounds like FUD. However you don't have to use MySQL.

Generally, if project has_many :tasks, and task belongs_to :project, then the tasks table would have a project_id column. The belongs_to declaration goes in the model whose table contains the foreign key. > > I am running on Debian Linux. > > > 3.

Debian is a fine OS, but I don't know how you installed things. Its packages for Ruby might be out of date. Ubuntu is a good distro for development. I've used Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac, and I prefer the Mac OS for Rails development. Not going to get into the reasons because I don't want to start a holy war. But given that your installation has recent versions of Ruby (ruby -v should report 1.8.4 or higher, preferably something in 1.8.6 or so) then you should be fine. > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
