At some point you must have created a "stories" table in your database with those fields. Rails (technically ActiveRecord) finds this based on the name of your class (singular version of the table by default). > I do know if I typed craeted_at instead of created_at or > updetad_at instead of updated_at.

How do I remove the second object from the database? Story.destroy(2) Note that that '2' is the *id* of the record you want to remove. Has nothing to do with it being the 'second' object. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
