No, you are wrong. The model xyz.rb has direct access (through inheritance) to the database table xyzs. Thus, the method: def Xyx.get_first find(1) end returns the row of table xyzs with id=1 with no qualification. In a controller, the statement find(1) is meaningless. You have to reference the model to get access to the table as in Xyz.find(1). Views (*.erb files) should never directly reference models. They get their database information from the controller. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
