In my application I have to tables 1) Student 2) Alma Mater Department
Student table belongs_to :alma_mater_department and Alma Mater Department has_many :students Firstly, I want to predefined some data in seeds.rb for Alma Mater table which I want to look like this ++++++++++++++++++++ + Type | Name + ++++++++++++++++++++ + B.Tech | Mechanical + + | Production + + | Electronics + ++++++++++++++++++++ + M.Tech | Mechanical + + | Production + + | Electronics + ++++++++++++++++++++ What is the best approach of doing this kind of seeding (as it has many repeating values) Secondly, once done with above step, I want that under student's new.html.erb there will be two <collection_select> fields 1) Where user can choose from Type 2) Where user can choose from Name Say, user choose value == B.Tech Production (which according to table is id=2). How to send that id thing in Student table and display them. P.S: My problem is bit topsy turvy kinda thing. Please bear with me as I am leaning these concepts. -- Cheers!
