Yep. I didn't say it might be a simpler solution, but the question was "Can anyone help me to come up with an efficient way to do this in Rails 3.0.10?" That the question I was answering anyway. I think we can all agree that a bit-field would be the most efficient. Integer comparison, especially if the field is indexed should provide excellent query efficiency. But, as others have mentioned, there are gems to make this more complex solution easier to manage. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
