How about supplementing what you're already getting back w/a call like this:
@entries << Entry.find_by_sql('select sum(entries.price) as sum_price,
"uncategorized" as category_name from entries where id not in (select entry_id
from entry_categories)')

Subject: [Rails] Grouping data for charting
Hi there, I'm using Open Flash Chart to create a pie chart of user's
categorized spending. It currently includes only categories that I have in my
Category model, but does not include "uncategorized"
entries which have no association in the entry_categories table.
I'd like to include those entries that are not categorized as well in my
grouping so that I can display them in the pie chart as "uncategorized." How
would i do that? Below is the SQL that successfully grabs categorized entries.
How would i retrieve and group uncategorized entries as part of this query?
@entries = Entry.find_by_sql ["SELECT sum(entries.price) AS sum_price,
categories.name AS category_name, categories.color AS category_color
FROM entries, categories, entry_categories
WHERE entries.user_id = ? AND entries.id = entry_categories.entry_id and
entry_categories.category_id = categories.id
GROUP BY categories.id", current_user.id]
Thanks in advance.
