I think :select is the best you've got for something like this. But all hope
is not lost. My first stab at such a problem would be to use the
columnsarray on the class, like so:
class MagicWidgets < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :uncontrollable_things, :select => happy_columns.join(", ")
def self.happy_columns
columns.collect { |col| col.name } - [ "big_ol_blob_1", "big_ol_blob_2"
]
end
end
I haven't tested any of that beyond the columns.collect, so you may need to
experiment a bit, but maybe it'll help get things going in the right
direction for you.
