> Department > has_many :employees, :dependent => :deny
has_many :employees, :dependent => 'something' indicates what non-default behavior to apply to the :employees... not some behavior related to the :department we already have a :before_destroy callback to serve your purpose, which is far more powerful -- not every case is as simple as "Don't delete if there are any employees" -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
