I chose this way so that I don't need to change too much of code.
If my ESP is working, given: School << ActiveRecord::Base has_many :students belongs_to :year end Student << ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :school belongs_to :year end Year << ActiveRecord::Base has_many :schools has_many :students end then finding students belonging to a particular year should be easy: School.first.year.students or closer to your example: School.find(10).year.students -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
