Couple tips: - don't capitalize association names. It might not affect anything at first, but it will eventually bite you when the inflector gets confused.
- as noted by others, don't optimize early. And even if you're trying to optimize early, why would 'delete profile' be a bottleneck? Surely views are going to be much, much more common... - finally, while what you're asking about was possible in older versions of Rails (but seriously deprecated since about 2.0), I believe that the support has been removed from 2.3. The best practice now is to use a join model with has_many :through. Message me if you're not sure how to set that up. --Matt Jones On Feb 19, 2:17 am, Preethi Sivakumar <rails-mailing-l...@andreas- s.net> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm having a HABTM relationship between profiles and users where User > and Profile are having a many to many relationship. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > User Model: > has_and_belongs_to_many :Profiles > > Profile Model: > has_and_belongs_to_many :Users > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > My mapping table has profile_id and user_id as two columns > > My requirement is, I want to add an additional column in the mapping > table without creating a model for that table. > > The additional column i need is "rowstate" which I'll be using to > softdelete the rows in the mapping table when user is unassigned from a > profile. > > How could i achieve that?(without creating a new model for the mapping > table) > -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
