Often times, I want to return the IDs from an association only to use it in another query.
For example, say you have a many to many like User has many Books. With association_pks plugin, you can do user.book_pks and get back an actual array, but if you are returning potentially 300 IDs and then throwing that into another query, that query will get unnecesarily long (imagine repeating this a few times). I noticed that in the association_pks plugin, you are running select_map on all your datasets. Perhaps at that last step, we could simple "select' that column and create a new method <association>_pks_dataset to just return the dataset. It wouldn't add a lot of new code/logic, but increase flexibility of that plugin. Thoughts? Aryk -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sequel-talk" group.
