Take this contrived example: Department has_many :people end Person belongs_to :department, :conditions => { :name => "Development" } end person # assume this exists person.department.name => "Development" department # assume this exists department.name => "Marketing" person.department = department person.save person.reload person.department => nil SELECT * FROM "departments" WHERE ("departments"."id" = 1 AND ("departments"."name" = 'Development')) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
