Delete row without th eid field

Rails
1

Hi all,

I have a table structure with me not having an id column. When I try to
delete the row i get an error ‘Unknown column “table.id”’. Can i do the
action with any other method than destroy/delete? Or with the same
method and any other conditions?

Thanks.
Sainaba.

Check out the destroy_all method. It may well suit your needs.

Change the line that looks up your record in the delete function to use
your own primary key.

instead of something like

@item = Item.find(params[:id])

it will be something like

@item = Item.find(params[:name])

or

@item = Item.find_by_name(paranms[:name])

Depends on how you have your table set up.

Hi
it worked with

Customer.delete_all " customer_id = " + @company_id.to_s

Thanks to all ,

You may also use delete_all :smiley:
