How do you check if associated table is empty from find?

Rails

So I have two tables:

  • teams
  • players

I’m trying to find all teams that have no players. I thought this could
work:

Team.find(:all, :joins => :players, :conditions => [“players.size = ?”,
0] )

Of course that’s not working for me because I’m mixing the SQL with
Rails. Do you know the proper way to find all teams that have no
players?

You could add a :counter_cache to your model if you want a simple
solution:
