I have a highly-normalized user model called Respondent. It has many
join fields such as "ethnicity_id", "education_id", etc. that define
relational categories. Most of them are indexed. For reasons unknown,
Rails is hitting a huge number of the tables when accessing any
Respondent objects. For example, on a simple SHOW action:
==CONTROLLER== (from basic scaffold)
def show
@respondent = Respondent.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @respondent }
end
end
==VIEW== (note - nothing is even being rendered!)
<p id="notice"><%= notice %></p>
<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_respondent_path(@respondent) %> |
<%= link_to 'Back', respondents_path %>
==RESULTING SERVER LOG==

==QUESTION==
Why in the world could the server need to hit these tables and why is it
taking so long? Some of these models are related -- for example,
postal_code BELONGS_TO country, etc. It does not do this for any other
models. I have attached the model and migration file for reference since
they are so long.
