lets say that i have a column in one of my tables: initial_odometer_reading (type is decimal), which for any particular record, may or may not be set by the user of the application.
somewhere in my code, i want to search for those records for which the user has set/initialized this column. how do i do so, properly? i can set the default value in the 'create table' method to be '-1' and then query for '-1', this works, but doesn't seem right. i want to do the right thing here. what is the conventional way to solve this? note that zero is a legitimate value to which the user may set the column. thanks, yoram --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
