That is the ORM way. The problem lies in your design (i.e. associations). A country has many cities. Cities have many streets. These streets contain houses. Sure a house belongs to a city, but given the additional entities involved the above model makes more sense. @house = some_city.streets.find(1).houses.create(:name=>'Adelitas') --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
