Been developing in Rails for about a month and I'm still working on grasping its subtleties. Can someone please shed some light on this simple scenario?
## Schema ## create_table :books do |t| t.string :title t.integer :year end create_table :pages do |t| t.integer :no t.references :book end ## Models ## Book has_many :pages Page belongs_to :book Then in Rails' console: @pages = Page.all( :select => 'pages.id, pages.no, books.year book_year', :joins => :book ) @pages.first.no.class #=> Fixnum @pages.first.book_year.class #=> String What I don't understand is why book_year is a String instead of a Fixnum. Is it possible to get Book's columns correctly instantiated?
