Works like a charm - thanks! Now that you got my head pointed in the right direction ;-) I noticed, that :joins does the same job for me (ie. same result) with some slight internal difference: :include - uses LEFT OUTER JOIN and explicitely selects all attributes from both tables (specifying each attribute by name) :joins - uses INNER JOIN and only selects categories.* While it probably won't matter with my 300-400 articles, in a larger dataset I should think, that :joins is the faster of the two. Thank you for your help. :-) - Carsten -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
