Hi Colin, Thanks for asking that question. I had preloaded the database so I didn't have to create a new record. So now I just tried doing that and it wouldn't let me create a new record although the :aspect value I used does not exist at all in the database. Console output is below:
>> stat0 = Stat.new(:user => user0, :aspect => "aspect0") => #<Stat id: nil, user_id: 1000, aspect: "aspect0", . . .> >> stat0.save! ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Aspect has already been taken from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/active_record/validations.rb:1021:in `save_without_dirty!' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/active_record/dirty.rb:87:in `save_without_transactions!' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:200:in `save!' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb:136:in `transaction' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:182:in `transaction' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:200:in `save!' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:208:in `rollback_active_record_state!' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:200:in `save!' from (irb):70 "aspect0" is something I completely made up and does not exist in the database. :user_id 1000 does exist in different rows with different values of :aspect however. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
