> Can you not just do @topic.messages << @message > then the message is missing the user_id.
A found a way: message = user.messages.build(:content => 'blabla') topic.messages << message. But to update the counter columns, then rails does 2 redundant select queries: one for topic and one for user then updates the counter columns, although user and topic objects are already available. I could code that manually but it doesn't look pretty. I think some time ago Fred Cheung said that intelligent reserve associations would be available in Rails 3, for now rails has to do redundant selects in order to update the objects. Maybe there is another and better way to achieve what I want? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
