The clue is in the question. You say that a user can have more than one entry in the table. What that implies is that you consider a user to be a significant object in your system, and that you have a number of them, therefore you should have a users table. Then to get the dishes for a user you would just use something like current_user.dishes and your problem would be solved. ggest working right through a good tutorial such as railstutorial.org ( which is free to use online). That tutorial includes the concept of users and will show you the basics of rails. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
