Hi Matthew Shapiro I think you are trying for uniq entry in join table(here relationship_topics).That you can do on db level In the migration file for this join table you can add after the creation of the table an index like
add_index :relationship_topics, [:relationship_id, :topic_id], :unique => true Then migrate as usual.Now the model save can be run inside a begin end block and rescue ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid error..You can also remove the line validates_uniqueness_of :topic, :scope => :relationship from above Sijo -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
