In postgres sometimes the default values are functions like for example UUID fields. It would work fine if it sent DEFAULT instead of NULL for the missing fields and of course it could just not mention them either. I was wondering if there is a flag somewhere in AR that says "Don't send NULLs for missing attributes" or something. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
