First, I am very new to ruby and rails. Searching for "references" is really tough, and so I've finally come here.
I'm trying to create a scaffold. Let's say a Business and a School both can have a single Address (not shared). In a different case, an Offer has an OfferType (with just a type_id and description). Also, a Business can have many Offers. (I've stripped off most of the unrelated columns, like last_name, etc...) I'm wondering (in about this order): a) Am I doing this right? b) What the difference would be if I used Address business:belongs_to user:belongs_to instead of references? c) Is the Business address:has_one redundant with Address business:references? If not, what does it do? What about the has_many? d) Will this generate join tables for me? And I don't need to specify xxxxx_id's anywhere in these relationships? ./script/generate scaffold Business address:has_one offer:has_many name:string first_name:string ./script/generate scaffold School address:has_one name:string ./script/generate scaffold Address business:references school:references address1:string ./script/generate scaffold Offer business:references offerType:has_one start_date:datetime ./script/generate scaffold OfferType image:has_one name:string description:text (I'm on Ruby 1.8.7 and Rails 2.3.8.)
